Unix Tip #4566- September 10, 2024

SHARING STDIN/STDOUT ON 2 TERMINALS



Ever wanted the standard input and standard output
to be shared on two terminals?

Try the following short script,

------------------- CUT HERE -------------------------

[ $# -lt 2 ] && echo "Usage: $0 program ttytodupon" && exit 2
mytty=`tty`
prog=$1
othertty=$2
sh -c "$prog|tee -a $mytty" 1>$othertty 2>&1 0>$othertty
