Even better:

Code:

[nemo@Dinghy ~]$ gpscon
Latitude: 51.6126; Longitude: -0.730567; Altitude: nan
Latitude: 51.6844; Longitude: -1.26139; Altitude: nan
Latitude: 51.6844; Longitude: -1.26139; Altitude: nan
Latitude: 51.6844; Longitude: -1.26139; Altitude: nan
^C
[nemo@Dinghy ~]$ gpscon runs=1
Latitude: 51.6126; Longitude: -0.730567; Altitude: nan
[nemo@Dinghy ~]$

WTF???

However,

Code:

[nemo@Dinghy ~]$ gpscon runs=3
Latitude: 51.6126; Longitude: -0.730567; Altitude: nan
Latitude: 51.6844; Longitude: -1.26139; Altitude: nan
Latitude: 51.6844; Longitude: -1.26139; Altitude: nan
[nemo@Dinghy ~]$ gpscon runs=1
Latitude: 51.6844; Longitude: -1.26139; Altitude: nan
[nemo@Dinghy ~]$

So clearly, the last known value gets updated only when

gpscon has completed at least two runs and
gpscon terminated on its own, without ^C

The remaining £100 question is, why does gpscon runs=3 not terminate when run from a script triggered by cron when it quite happily terminates when the same script is run manually from the command line.
