Terminal becomes unresponsive when I use “tail –f catalina.out” -


setup: mac osx 10.6.8, terminal 2.1.2 (273.1)

my terminal becomes unresponsive after enter commands. example when put tail on catalina.out file though happens @ other times well.

an example of steps take when im putting tail on.

i go startup folder

cd /applications/tomcat/apache-tomcat-6.0.16/bin 

enter start command

sh startup.sh 

go logs folder

cd /applications/tomcat/apache-tomcat-6.0.16/logs 

and put tail on catalina.out file

tail -f catalina.out 

this works fine , terminal window displays processes being used. however, if try type else in terminal becomes unresponsive. if press or down arrow list previous commands "^[[a" , "^[[b" down.

when type e.g. "cd .." , press enter nothing happens

why terminal become unresponsive , how can make execute commands? @ moment have quite terminal each time happened bit annoying.

don't use tail -f

instead when want run instead of

sh startup.sh 

run:

sh catalina.sh run 

it log window.

or can open terminal , tail -f there!
