Bash while loop and reading from pipe If you don't want wine to block without losing data, you can install a program called buffer and run it in the pipeline with any buffer size your system will handle. Obviously, with enough output you'll eventually have to compromise and either lose writes or allow wine to block; but buffer will let you stretch it out and survive larger bursts of output. |

Bash while loop and reading from pipe @Magnus Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't mean this to come off as a gruff RTFM. The question seeks an explanation and the explanation that is most relevant to the questioner is handily available in that man page, so it seemed to be the optimal answer. |

Is there some kind kind of hosts.additional file for Linux Depending on exactly what you want to do, the environment variable HOSTALIASES might be useful to you. It names a file which maps single-word hostnames to other hostname. If all actual addresses are in the static /etc/hosts then you can put changeable aliases in $HOSTALIASES and it should work. See hostname(7). |

Export terminal display to PDF @rks171 You are correct. From your question, I thought you were getting much less than normal screen resolution. |
