problem with stdout

[amigthea]

I'm prefacing this by saying that the problem is likely on my low linux skills.

this command prints the authid on terminal (with other stderr logs)
wush host | cat

but this is not printing the expected encoded output
wush host | base64

what I'm doing wrong?
thank you for the patience and keep it up with this awesome project!

It's most likely that base64 is waiting for an EOF from wush host since we never close stdout. FWIW, the auth key is already base58 encoded, so base64ing it unnecessary.

It's most likely that base64 is waiting for an EOF from wush host since we never close stdout.

that's what I thought and I was able to work around that with xargs, eg:
wush host | xargs -I {} sh -c 'echo {}'

can I ask you if there's a more clean way, maybe with tee?

anyway thank you for the heads-up, much appreciated

solved it with
wush host | tee >( my command ) > /dev/null
thank you <3
