Tool's output

[AZ]

hello,
i need to monitor the tty. for this i put together a small shell script (~/bin/monitor), that calls miniterm.py with a ${PROJECT_DIR} where it parses and pics port and baud params for the execution of miniterm.py :

Code Select Expand


~/bin/monitor ${PROJECT_DIR}


monitor:

Code Select Expand


//the boilerplate code removed
miniterm.py $baud $port


the challenge :
a. when the xterm opens up and launches the "monitor", I can't select and copy the output to a buffer.
b. as a workaround i thought i can redirect the output from the tool into a log. what params can i use in the "Tools"?
c. ideally, i'd like to have the "monitor" to run one of the CB output windows ( like build log, valgrind etc). How can this be achieved?


My attempt to use "Tools+" and specifying the output to "Tools output window", got me :

execvp(~/bin/monitor, /home/az/Work/Arduino/Proj/) failed with error 2!

thank you.
