Ok,
I feel like I'm doing something *really* stupid here. I'll assume
anything that comes at me after this question:
How can I redirect bbackupquery's output (compare -a) to a file??
I know I already did it once, but it doesn't seem to work anymore.
Here's what I do:
bbackupquery "compare -a" quit > /tmp/compare.log
This works:
bbackupquery ls quit > /tmp/compare.log
When I try to follow the file with tail -f, nothing shows up.
Yesterday, after my full compare, I found my compare.log to be empty.
Yet when I'm not redirecting to a file, it seems to work fine.
Now, what am I doing wrong? Can someone try it and tell me how it goes?
Same behavior on both OpenBSD 3.5 i386 and Gentoo i386.
