Description

Many of the admin utilities can potentially print a lot of output, but don't play nice with standard unix utilities like head. These tools should periodically check if the stdout pipe has been closed, and terminate appropriately, instead of continuing to execute and printing output that nobody will ever see.

This check can be done using System.out.checkError().
