How to flush output to disk?

I'm running very long jobs (1-3 days) in a batch queue, on a Sun
4/330, SunOS 4.0.3.  The screen output is saved in a file called
batch.log.  Often that file is not updated for several hours, which is
a little frustrating; it's difficult to know how far along the model
run is.  Is there any way to force the output to be flushed more
often, say every 15-30 minutes?

Many thanks,
