Getting the output of a shell command

#1 08-13-2008, 12:44 PM

Hi there,

any way to run a DOS command and getting its output in dolphin?

I want to make a monitor of DDoS attacks and I need to parse the
netstat too detailed output. You can imagine how much I want to use
Dolphin for that instead of perl regexp and friends.

thanks,

Sebastian
PS: using it on wine if linux or cygwin if windows

I use Bob Jarvis's ExternalProcess goodie to run an external program under
DOS and access its output. It is very powerful and flexible, so it may be
overkill if you just want to get at stdout, but it is there and it works
without problems. See Bob's Goodies at

Not sure about the implications of this. I just use it under Windows XP SP2.

Hope this helps

My "US ExternakProcess Extension" might help here. It wraps Windows/CRT
streams in a way that they are accessible as regular smalltalk streams.

I should just mention that my app is still runnung under Dolphin 5.1.4, and
I see that Bob Jarvis's goodies page has not been updated since July 2004. I
see no reason why it should not work under Dolphin 6, but it may not have
been tested yet.

Hi Udo and Peter,

In windows works like a charm but ExternalProcess is unable to open
the process with the command under wine. I've done it in squeak.

Thanks for the pointers,

Sebastian

Is this a non-Windows command you are trying to capture output from? I'm
asking because if is possible to capture output from a Windows console
app running in Wine.

CU,

Udo
