#!/bin/bash echo "this goes to stdout" echo "this goes to stderr" 1>&2 (Which should have been obvious from the familiar "pd -stderr 2>&1")
Yep I use a similar trick in UNIX find, like trying to find .pd files:
I am thinking of the ideal version of this, an object that would give you
an inlet for STDIN then two >outlets for STDOUT and STDERR, plus a status outlet and an inlet to set what to run. It could be >something like this:
[process /usr/bin/python]
Then you could send python bits to it via the first inlet, and receive the
reply via the outlets. So >something like a cleaner [shell].
NIce hc. That's an interesting object, sending messages in a simple way to a shell process running in the background should be fairly easy. Just didn't get what you mean by status outlet..
