Top Forums UNIX for Dummies Questions & Answers Can't figure out why this repeats Post 302676363 by Corona688 on Tuesday 24th of July 2012 12:53:13 PM

This line is suspect:
Code:
echo "$address,$port,$number,$answer" >> /var/tmp/results.txt | tee -a $log

You have already redirected echo's output into results.txt, you can't do that and still pipe it into tee.

Tee may be reading from standard input, eating all your lines, and breaking the loop early.
