This may not be the appropriate list (PowerHouse might be better), but I
suspect the problem I am experiencing lives within tail.hpbin.sys, so I
thought I'd try the enlightened ones here first


I added a designer procedure to quick screen to allow the user to tail the
end of a logfile.
I use "tail.hpbin.sys -f /ACCOUNT/GROUP/LOGFILE".

It works, but when hitting ctrl-y to stop the tail process, Quick ends as
well, returning the user to the command prompt (or Qedit or wherever Quick
started from).

I wrapped the command in sh.hpbin.sys -c, but the same thing happens.
I tried other Posix commands from within Quick (ls -l), and they end
normally on ctrl-Y, returning the user to Quick, as expected.
I ran a new copy of the CI for the command, and Quick is toast after ctrl-Y.

Is tail.hpbin.sys misbehaved?

What can a poor boy do?

Regards

Neil


procedure designer TLOG help "Tail Logfile"
begin
  clear all
  let CMD = "run sh.hpbin.sys;info='-c " + &
            '"tail -f /ACCOUNT/GROUP/LOGFILE"' + "'"
  run command CMD
end
