The standard solution under 4.2BSD is to use tail -f on the output
file. (Don't use tee.) Tail -f doesn't buffer its output between
sleeps. You can kill or suspend the tail without disturbing the
process generating the data. I don't know whether System V has tail or
if so whether there is a -f option or something analogous.
