{bb} Re: 'echo " " > BBOUT' doesn't work ?

[Dietmar Felmer <Dietmar.Felmer@ivmed.med.uni-erlangen.de>]

Hi Henrik,

must 'echo "" > BBOUT' be started from a special place  ? I put it in an
external script, but the problem that the new BBOUT - has now indeed 0
bytes - but the file is currupt. Probaly it's a file pointer problem.
The file pointer is showing yet at the end of the inital BBOUT file and
the new file is looking like a binary file now.

The securest way might be to stop BB before dropping the 'echo " "'.

Thanks anyhow and to all,

Dietmar
