Sending command from one terminal to another.
Hello,
I am running a program in a terminal.
this program is just printing random words.
I can change the color of each word by entering the first character of the color(for example G for Green).
I want to write a bash code that runs in a different terminal and sends different characters to terminal 1 (the one showing the rectangle) to change the color automatically and constantly.
my word program is running in /dev/pts/1
i tried to do the following:
echo G > /dev/pts/1 , all it does is printing G in terminal 1. nothing happens to the color. how can I make it execute and change the color of the words?

gifcolor
gifcolor(1) General Commands Manual gifcolor(1)
NAME
gifcolor - A program to generate color test patterns. Feed it a color map file (as generated, say, by the -s otion of GifClrMp) and it
will generate a GIF containing lines of the form
Color %-3d: [%-3d, %-3d, %-3d]:
where the first number is the zero-based color index, and the triple is the index's [Red, Green, Blue] value. There will be one such line
for each color. Each line will be set in a simple 8x8 font in the color it describes; thus, any lines corresponding to the GIF's back-
ground color will be blank.
USAGE
gifcolor [-q] [-b Background] [-h] <ColorMapFile
As gifcolor can generate huge amounts of data, ^C will kill it, but 'q' will stop only the printing (of one of -e, -z, -p), while file
integrity will still be checked.
MEMORY REQUIRED
Line.
OPTIONS
[-q]
Quiet mode. Defaults off on MSDOS, on under UNIX. Controls printout of running scan lines. Use -q- to invert.
[-b]
Set the image's backround color to a given numeric index.
[-h]
Print one line of command line help, similar to Usage above.
