A pipe sends the output of the command in front of it to the command behind it and nowhere else. By piping it into the while loop, we've redirected it away from the terminal. So if that didn't print it -- nothing would. And if it didn't read it, nothing would.

Nearly there. Would like to be able to make a slight modification but not sure if it will be possible. If I test with a error stack trace each line is prepended with the date but all I need is the date to be prepended at the start of the exception. e.g
current output:
Code:
Fri Mar 11 09:11:18 2011 java.lang.RuntimeException: Exception for standard err
Fri Mar 11 09:11:18 2011        at main.Main.main(Main.java:13)

Fri Mar 11 09:11:18 2011        at java.lang.reflect.Method.invoke(Method.java:592)
Fri Mar 11 09:11:18 2011        at org.eclipse.jdt.internal.jarinjarloader.JarRsrcLoader.main(JarRsrcLoader.java:58)

desired output:
Code:
Fri Mar 11 09:11:18 2011 java.lang.RuntimeException: Exception for standard err
at main.Main.main(Main.java:13)
at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke0(Native Method)

at java.lang.reflect.Method.invoke(Method.java:592)
at org.eclipse.jdt.internal.jarinjarloader.JarRsrcLoader.main(JarRsrcLoader.java:58)

Not sure if that will be possible though.
