Shell Programming and Scripting

Hi all,

I am working with the Grinder tool (unrelated to my question) to redirect the output of a program to a file as follows:

java -cp $CLASSPATH net.grinder.TCPProxy > grinder.txt

This is a proxy server which pipes output to a file. When I do something on my proxy, more and more goes to this file.

Now my question is as follows: I want to be able to put my own text in the file while the program is running, basically for comments so I can break up what each part is. But when I add stuff to the file, save it, and then do something to add to the file, my additions are overridden.

Is there any way I can get my additions in the file while it is being redirected?

Thanks for the help.

Try
java -cp $CLASSPATH net.grinder.TCPProxy >> grinder.txt
