Tailing foreman output from another terminal window

Open vcavallo opened this issue 7 years ago • 2 comments

Hello Is it possible to tail (or something similar) the foreman output in two different terminal sessions? Further explanation: I'm running foreman in a small tmux split pane to keep an eye on it, but would like to have the same output in a larger pane in a separate tmux window. Due to some limitations with cloning panes in tmux I thought doing it at the foreman level might be possible. I thought about piping foreman to less or something but there are issue with colors and other complications there. Any help or ideas would be much appreciated - thanks!

@vcavallo is this still an issue?

Might try something like this https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1401002/trick-an-application-into-thinking-its-stdout-is-a-terminal-not-a-pipe

just pipe into less / might still have to force color on in the program creating output, but maybe not (most just do dumb istty checks)
