In most cases however, issuing ctrl+c signals make and make will remove the output file. Problematic indeed, "temp" could be left when ctrl+c is hit: foo: bar generate-something <bar >temp; add-up <temp >foo; What could work, temp being removed on ^C: temp: bar generate-something <bar >temp; foo: temp add-up <temp >foo; -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
