I am trying to write shell script that runs a couple of simple shell commands related to my video card. i.e. aticonfig --od-enable aticonfig --odgt the latter command is supposed to display a line that shows the temperature of my video card. When I run this script no shell window is opened and I don't get to see the temperature. How do I force the script to open and display a shell window so I can see the temp when this script is run? |

or you can direct output to xconsole like xconsole & while [ something ];do VALUE=`program | filter` echo "Value" >/dev/console done |

It worked! Thanks for your help. Now I have a related question. I have tried using an xterm -e command from an ssh connection on a remote machine. It starts the command but the output does not get sent to the ssh shell on the remote machine. Is there anyway to send the ouput from the xterm -e command back to the remote shell that invoked it? |

Not that I am aware of. Since running xterm creates a new window for output, you need to eliminate the xterm -e. You have at least three options: 1. Use you original script (from before you added xterm) when invoking from a shell, and use your new script only when you need a new shell window. or 2. Create a wrapper script that uses xterm to call your original script. For instance:
Then use the wrapper script when you need a new window. or 3. Use an if/else in your script to recognize an option to indicate that you want no window. For instance:
Then invoke it from your shell with, for instance, video_temperature --nw There are certainly many other ways to do this as well. |
