## Known issues

- Issues with buffered output: If you're writing to a file, 'stdbuf -oL -eL [command]' works well if the command you're piping through doesnt have line buffered output (e.g. tcpdump has -l) http://sarge.readthedocs.org/en/latest/tutorial.html#buffering-issues

- Minor graphical glitches when exiting or when the piped process prints to stdout ( pipe stdout to /dev/null fixes )
