Another way to skin this cat is to use the stdbuf program, which is part of the GNU Coreutils (FreeBSD also has its own one).

stdbuf -i0 -o0 -e0 command 

This turns off buffering completely for input, output and error. For some applications, line buffering may be more suitable for performance reasons:

stdbuf -oL -eL command 

_{Note that it only works for stdio buffering (printf(), fputs()...) for dynamically linked applications, and only if that application doesn't otherwise adjust the buffering of its standard streams by itself, though that should cover most applications.}
