Well, this is the thing.. I sent a process's stdout to /dev/null. This process
is very time consuming and after a week it keeps running, what I need is
to switch the stdout back to screen to see what's going on.
Anyone know if it's possible and how to do it?
afaik, you cannot do that. Once the process starts with all the file descriptors in place, unix will not allow you to do this. You can setup some sort of mechanism where on receiving a signal, your process also writes whatever it is writing to stdout to another file.
But it will be a lot of work, so it just might make more sense to redirect stdout to a file and keep truncating it every so often (you could have a cronjob) till you need to see what the process is doing. When you do, stop truncating the file and whatever you need to check is just waiting in that file.
I m not sure that this is your requirement . however i m trying if it works for you its good !!!!
the solution to your problem is using tee command but for that you will have to run the code from beginning
not in middle . suppose you are using less command to see any file
then you can send the output to the file and also to your terminal as follows
Code:
less abc.log | tee /dev/pts10 xyz.txt| less
this will send your 1 output to your terminal . other output to the file xyz.txt
Ok, thanks for the help. As I understand the less would be an option, but before the command was triggered. Anyway, I will kill the process and re-run it with stdout>/dev/tty0. Logging to a file is not an option, cause I'm running fcrackzip, and its going to fill my hard disk in minutes. ;-)
In bash, you can do something like this:
#!/bin/bash
echo -n "What is your name? " > /dev/tty
read thename < /dev/tty
How can I do the same in python?

I am not sure if I am using the correct terminology but somehow my tty keeps changing on me. The man pages are confusing to me on what exactly the tty is. This is what I see when I run the tty command. Could anyone explain why my tty keeps changing?

In my program, I am using library provided by other. In the library, the cout/cerr is redirected to a file (the file path is known).
After I call some methods in the library, I get one side-effect --> The cout/cerr in my own program is also directed to the file.
So how can I to redirect... (5 Replies)
Hi every body,
Is it possible to connect two servers Back-to-Back (Point-to-Point) using HBA adapters & using Fiber.
Note it is direct connection & there is no switches between the servers.
I'm concern about using HBA adapters, it is possible or not.
Thanks in advance. :) (3 Replies)
I have put the file descriptor 1 to file, using command exec 1>>out.txt
Then I could not see any output on the screen, how could I restore the default output to terminal? :mad: Thanks (3 Replies)
I am fairly new to Unix Terminal outputs and I have a server that is sending print jobs to a PortServer 8 RJ45 situated in a remote location. It is working fine however we need to change the Subnet of that location and I am unable to find where the IP associated with the terminal is located.
