Hi Chuck,
The two that work shouldn't. I suggest you split the output to a temporary file using tee, and use that file as the input to the tail command.

I have three SGI servers running the exact same version of IRIX (6.5.5 64 bit). I have a pipeline that works fine on two of them but not on the third. Here's the pipeline...
sar -w | (head -n 4 ; tail)
It prints the first 4 lines followed by the last 10 lines of the sar output on two machines. On the third it just prints the first 4 lines. Does anyone have any idea why? Is there an environment variable or set command I need to execute to make it work as it does on the other 2 machines?
