Force flushing of output to a file while bash script is still running

by

I found a solution to this here. Using the OP’s example you basically run

stdbuf -oL /homedir/MyScript &> some_log.log

and then the buffer gets flushed after each line of output. I often combine this with nohup to run long jobs on a remote machine.

stdbuf -oL nohup /homedir/MyScript &> some_log.log

This way your process doesn’t get cancelled when you log out.
