I figured someone here would likely know the answer to this one. On freebsd if I do: ~% mkdir dirA ~% tail -n0 -F dirA/afile.txt ~% echo test > dirA/afile.txt >> test ~% mv dirA dirB ~% rm dirB/afile.txt ~% mkdir dirA ~% echo test > dirA/afile.txt >> test Which is what I would expect to happen. When I do the same test on a linux box it doesn't report the last echo (or any other redirection to the file). What am I missing? Thanks! -- Paul Halliday http://www.pintumbler.org/
