I need to continuously compress inputs that arrive from time to time into one stream.
My idea was to create a named pipe, set a gzip reading from it, and then Writing to it using cat, tee -a etc. Basically like that:
mknod P p gzip - < P > p.gz &
while something do do-something | tee -a P done
A fifo will allow you to run the zipper as a non-root user, so it might make a better choice than a named pipe. You also need to make sure that the input process doesn't terminate. Should be fairly simple...
Zipper:
mkfifo /tmp/my-fifo gzip - < /tmp/my-fifo > p.gz &
Input process:
while something
do
do-something
done | tee -a /tmp/my-fifo-- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
