Actually, can I somehow take the jackstart output that
goes to the F2
console and pipe it to a file that I could look at from KDE? That would be
nice too.
general unix techniques, part 2003.45 (all assume the use of a bourne
shell-like shell, which covers bash, zsh, sh, ksh, ash and many others):
1) divert all regular output to a file:
cmd > filename
2) divert regular output and error output to a file
cmd > filename 2>&1
3) divert regular output to a file but copy it to the screen
cmd | tee filename
4) divert regular output and error output to a file but copy it to the screen
cmd 2>&1 | tee filename
then, to watch it from another shell:
tail -f filename
which will check the file every second by default.
