Julia does not seem to be printing the output as it appears when redirected to a file.
I have the following code in file `print_test.jl`:
```julia
for i in 1:10
println("iteration: $i")
sleep(1)
end
```
when I run the script like: `julia print_test.jl` the output is appearing as expected every second on the screen. But if I run the script like this: `julia print_test.jl > test.out`, the output will appear all at once only after the script is finished.
Is there a solution so the output would be written to the file gradually?
I am running a demanding Julia script on a cluster and I am monitoring the progress with `println()` function.
Interestingly, I observe the same issue if I submit the script to the queuing system and do not redirect to an external file:
```julia
#SBATCH --output=test.out
julia print_test.jl
```

My approach on SLURM clusters is to explicitly make a separate logfile and print to it. The stdout stream is buffered and also not always directed to the slurm output file. I have been meaning to look into the various logging packages to see if they make this any easier.

Edit: confirmed that this works, but after correcting capitalization of `stdout`:
I’m on my phone so can’t try this, but adding `flush(stdout)` after the `println` may help.

You could pipe through `cat` and the output will be unbuffered:
```shell
julia print_test.jl | cat > test.out
```
Or write to a file and simultaneously watch the output in the terminal:
```shell
julia print_test.jl | tee > test.out
```
