Hi Chris,
The only comment that I would add to this suggestion it to take note
that all shell logic references logical lines. 6 logical lines equates
to pressing the enter key 6 times. If this is what you mean rather than
phyically seeing 6 lines then you are okay.

To add a date every 6 lines, you could pipe your output through
something like:
|(x=5; while read LINE; do if ((x++==5)) ; then date ; x=0 ; fi ; echo
$LINE ; done)
