I tried to use some scripts which use tail commands on Debian stretch but I got tail: error writing 'standard output': Broken pipe.



Does Debian handle tail and pipe syntax differently?



Thank you in advance,

    You probably have the SIGPIPE signal handler set to 'ignore' in your script or in another program calling it (eg. with trap '' PIPE). Don't do that.

  • I checked the code but it appears there no SIGPIPE.

  • Your code, for example tail -c +$index[$contig] $fasta | awk '$0~/>/exit1' specifically breaks the pipe in certain situations -- just to make that clear. If you can't control the SIGPIPE handling, then you may want to rework the code so that it tests for the />/ condition before calling the pipeline.
