Perhaps I'll take a I'd argue that that's what "tee" is for. Once upon a time I hacked up sh to add a version of -x output which looked more like an interactive session, but eventually decided it wasn't worth maintaining. It's not like -x output is all that unusable; it's just not as "pretty" --- but it also provides more information, which can be useful when trying to diagnose problems. By the way, this isn't really a ports issue; -questions is more appropriate. -- brandon s. allbery [os/2][linux][solaris][japh] allbery@kf8nh.apk.net system administrator [WAY too many hats] allbery@ece.cmu.edu electrical and computer engineering KF8NH carnegie mellon university ["better check the oblivious first" -ke6sls]
