A terminal controlling a terminal...

Hi all...

Consider me a dummy here...

I do not want any code or for anyone to show me how to do it at this time, but here is the question:-

I have had this brainstorm to be able to control the AudioScope.sh program in the "Shell Scripting And Programming" forum...

Is it possible, by piping say, for me to be able control the AudioScope in its termianl from a separate terminal in REAL TIME using the INKEY$ idea to change parameters whilst it is scanning?

This would give me parallel control instead of sequential serial control.

I do not mean like inputting data on the second terminal and sending it, but instead, terminal one polling the second terminal say after each plot and having the ability to change TB and SHIFT for example whilst in the same scan...

I hope this makes sense...

Again just a yes or no and something of what to type into Google say...

TIA...
