Dear all,

I am running perf stat to collect the performance statistics of a already
running process. And I have a shell script to execute the perf stat as a
daemon process. But when I use the 'kill' command to stop the perf stat,
there is no output redirected to a file.

[root@dell06 ~]# (perf stat -p 7473 -x ,) 2> perftest &
[1] 15086
[root@dell06 ~]# kill 15086
[root@dell06 ~]# 
[1]+  Terminated              ( perf stat -p 7473 -x , ) 2> perftest
[root@dell06 ~]# cat perftest
[root@dell06 ~]#

Any clue?

Best Regards

Hailong
