#695: Don't buffer output from configuration scripts
----------------------+-----------------------------------------------------
 Reporter:  eschnett  |       Owner:     
     Type:  defect    |      Status:  new
 Priority:  minor     |   Milestone:     
Component:  Cactus    |     Version:     
 Keywords:            |  
----------------------+-----------------------------------------------------
 Output from configuration scripts is buffered, and is only output after
 the script has finished. This is inconvenient for long-running scripts.
 Instead, the output should be shown right away.

 This buffering is done in file lib/sbin/ConfigScriptParser.pl, which uses
 Perl backquotes `` to collect all of the script's output. Instead, Cactus
 should use a pipe to read the script's output line-by-line, and process it
 immediately.
