That depends. In principle: yes, that would suffice - IF the period between runs of sort -u is sufficiently small to fit thread-O/Ps needs. What exactly "what he needs" is and what therefore "sufficiently small" constitutes is everybodies guess. IF (and again, who knows if this is a moot point or not) there must not be any duplicates in the final file THEN my approach (or something along similar lines) will be necessary. Also, if appending the output file happens without strict regularity the run of the sort -u might collide with the new entries overwriting them - concurrent access can have that effect. It would need some sort of inter-process communication in this case.

But all that is conjecture. Thread-O/P will have to state his problem more clearly to select the right approach.

I hope this helps.
