Not a bug, so likely the wrong forum.

Have you tried doing a fflush() after the fputs()? I.e. something to tell the Kernel to "write this out immediately!". In the case of write(), I think you need to use the O_SYNC flag in the open() call.

Tried sync() and fflush() to no avail. Will try O_SYNC and I will grep for that in the Bash source files. Might just trip over what I need there.

Thanks.
