Hi Again Everyone

I write terrible emails, long, detailed, boring, annoying or short and ambiguous.

My post yesterday was likely my ambiguous type :-(

I tried to write to a file that was already opened in Gobby. The changes did not take effect in the Gobby session. I guess the text being edited in Gobby is held in a buffer somewhere else.

What I would like to do is interweave a Gobby session between a user a script and myself. I have been trying to figure out an easy way to get the output of a script on my customers computer to mine. I know there are other options but with Gobby it could be an all in one solution for me. I can use it to write a custom script on a customers computer. If their serial port could also behave as a user I could gather useful information for their custom script.

Is there a way to do this?

thanks in advance-Patrick

HI Everyone

I have an instrumentation application I am trying to get ready for 2009. It will be an open source App designed to replace several closed source ones. By monitoring communication between the closed source software and the instrument I can reverse engineer the control commands. If the instrument is in front of me great but what if it is not?

I was wondering if there are terminal commands I can run with Gobby? In particular I was wondering if I could use the >> append operator from the command line to directly write into Gobby?

If this was possible perhaps I could do something like this:
!#/bin/bash
while true
do
 read LINE < /dev/ttyS0
 echo $LINE >> (into-gobby-somehow)
done

It might also be neat to embed Gobby right into my App, has anyone else done this?

Thanks and sorry for the Newbie questions-Patrick
