I think I may have found the source of the error, but not a solution. Does Sage (or Python or unix) only save the output to disk in chunks of 32Kb? By putting some simple print statements in my program, I do see the output being recorded in the file. I find that the size of the results file gets incremented by approximately 32Kb each time. In the original program, there was not much output so one would have to wait a long time before one would have 32Kb of output (unless the program ends).
Carl, I also tried your solution "nohup ./sage mytest.sage < /dev/ null > results.txt &" and it appears to have the same property. No output for the original file, but output in 32Kb chunks with the new print statements inserted. Also, the use of the name "commands.sage" was unfortunate. I just chose that as it seemed like a generic name. My original program has a different name that wouldn't be a Sage command. If my guess above is correct, is there anyway to force Sage to save the output to the file more often (i.e. in smaller chunks)?
