I guess I'm unclear on what you're doing and what's creating/removing the file you're interested in and how it's being done. The above ideas may work in your situation. I don't know. For the example you posted, the file deleted by "rm" isn't deleted really until it's closed, which won't happen until 'tail' ends. This is the way Windows works. There's not much to be done about it (at least not in Cygwin). Believe me, we've tried. -- Larry Hall http://www.rfk.com RFK Partners, Inc.
