Well, my process is cat, and I'd rather not rewrite it. :) I was hoping for a command-line tool or a /proc/sys knob.

Worse than that, I suspect you really mean you're using redirection, so your process is the shell. I don't know of a per-file way to control this aside from the open flag; you would indeed need to write a program to do it. (cat -u only disables stdio buffering, not OS buffering.)
