Hey all
I would like to use Pd to start and stop several instances of a certain command. I need to catch the stdout of the commands in Pd, so I can monitor their status. Also, I want to be able to kill them individually.
I tried to achieve that with [ggee/shell], but there are some culprits.Â
When I launch the command directly in [shell] like this:
[command ( | [shell]
I get the command's stdout on the left outlet of [shell], but I don't know of a reliable way to send a SIGHUP signal to command.
You could try to start the command and then execute pidof command name which should return the PID(s) of running commands, which you could kill/hangup with yet another command.
Not totally on-topic, but after a discussion with a friend yesterday I am curious if the functionality of ggee/shell can't be achieved with pd-send and pd-receive as well?
