writing sysdig output to a file

Question

I want to check my users commands on my server for a period of time so I use sysdig command with nohup. I want to write output to a file like so:

# nohup sysdig -c spy_users 1>>/path/to/true 2>>/path/to/false &

But result is not written to file realtime. Any idea?

If you kill your `sysdig`, it flushes the buffer and you will see the output in the file. — ceving, Jul 02 '18 at 13:47

Probably it is being buffered. Try to set the buffering to line-buffer or deactivete it completely:

nohup stdbuf -oL -eL sysdig -c spy_users 1>>/path/to/true 2>>/path/to/false &
