i'm trying to do the following : xterm -exec tail -f foo.txt | grep -v bar however, the grep part seems to be interpreted outside the exec. the result is that the exec happens, the the grep happens on it's own. i would like to be able to run the whole thing, tail and grep all as part of the exec. i've tried putting quotes around parts of the line to no avail. anyone? thanks, alex..
