Interrupt seems like it'd be dependent on implementation details of what caching happens or something like that. Say, if you were piping to some other command rather than redirecting to foo. I was actually a bit surprised to see it work. </div><div><br></div><div>You said feedback is welcome--hope this isn't too nit-picky. </div><div><br><hr id="zwchr"><div style="color:#000;font-weight:normal;font-style:normal;text-decoration:none;font-family:Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;font-size:12pt;"><b>From: </b>"Jim Kinney" <jim.kinney@gmail.com><br><b>To: </b>"Atlanta Linux Enthusiasts - Yes!
