My guess: "tail frame.log" closes its stdout as soon as it has read the requested lines from the file, "tail -f frame.log" keeps its stdout open, since it is waiting for new lines to be added to the logfile. Cat is using some buffering on its stdin, so it tries to read a buffer's worth of data at a time. -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
