My issue is that I have a function call it function1
which runs indefinitely. The function itself echo's hello
every second. Using the command:
function1 >> temp.txt
Every second if I am to view the file temp.txt
I should see a new line with hello
. However what's happening is that the function doesn't write to the file until its finished running. Therefore if I am to kill the function nothing will be written. Does anyone know of something I can do in this situation that will basically dynamically update temp.txt
?
I have a python script set up the following way:
while [1>0]:
print "hello"
time.sleep(1)
Therefore this will always be running. Now I call this in a bash script
python pythonscript.py >> temp.txt
If I kill
the process no data is logged.
