iLiad How to send output to SSH terminal?

ericshliao · 12-21-2008, 07:16 AM

I want to trace my code running on iLiad. I plan to start a ssh terminal connecting PC and iLiad, and execute the app from contentlister, and make stdout of the app sent to ssh terminal, so that I can monitor every step of the app with my PC. Is it possible?

Hmm, haven't tried something like this yet, but maybe you can create a pipe and send your program output in there?

Connect to your iLiad over SSH (dropbear)
mkfifo /tmp/fifo
Send the output of your program to the pipe (e.g. in your run.sh script)
do a "cat /tmp/fifo" on your ssh connection

Ah! That makes sense. Thanx. I will try it.

tail -F /tmp/fifo will show the output while it comes, and wait for more...
