Real-time output through CLI - El Forum - 05-06-2010

I'm building a background cron script to handle some slow processing, and using codeigniter to handle the database lifting etc.
However, it seems when I run the scripts it waits until the entire script has run before it outputs any text (even using echo statements).
I was hoping to get a more real-time output to make debugging slightly less painful - is this a simple switch I can run?

Normal CI output is buffered, so you can't use that in a cron situation.
Search for cron here, there are libraries available (from p.e. Phil) that work around this issue.
