Summary

0000389: Please modify "logread" in Busybox so that it flushes its output

Description

Hi - I'd like to set up a Busybox system to immediately trigger events to occur
if certain events are logged. In particular,
I'd like to use "logread -f" to monitor output.
The problem is that "logread -f" does NOT flush its output immediately,
so I can't use it as it is.

Thus, in trunk/busybox/sysklogd/logread.c, would you please modify
the code to flushes the output after printf's? For example, please change:
}
free(buf_data);
#endif
} while (follow);

So that after the "#endif" add this:
fflush(stdout);

Thanks.
