I've added this to our feature request list, and we'll definitely investigate it further. If we're able to make something like this work, we'll definitely let you know! ]]> https://www.logfusion.ca/Discussions/View/feature-request-view-program-output-directly/?ID=126cefb7-165d-46bd-841c-5dbc832cafda Thu, 10 Jul 2014 15:03:23 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.logfusion.ca/Discussions/View/feature-request-view-program-output-directly/?ID=126cefb7-165d-46bd-841c-5dbc832cafda LogFusion I'd love to be able to use LogFusion to run a program and capture standard output. As an example, let's say I had SSH keys set up to a Linux server. I could then do something like this:

plink userid@server.host.name "tail -f /var/log/messages"

plink would then continuously output /var/log/messages from my remote Linux server to the console (I also have a few other programs that display console output like this).

While I could just output that to a file, then use LogFusion to look at that file, that has two downsides: 1) it now takes two steps to look at that log instead of being able to save it in LogFusion and 2) I'm now putting temp files on disk that I have to clean up and worry about filesize for if things are open too long.

Thoughts? So far this is a great program! ]]>
