Collect and route stdout between computers and terminals
Having applications running in many terminals and machines can be troublesome to monitor. Setting up log sending/fetching may be a bit too tedious a task for some projects. stdout-collector provides an intermediate solution by allowing for easy redirection of application stdout streams to one destination.
Using this application it is possible to route the stdout from many different applications on different machines to one terminal on another. This library provides 2 commands:
stdsend- Sendstdoutto a destination receiverstdrecv- Receivestdoutfrom another machine (or several machines)
To set up a receiver:
stdrecvThis executes the receiving server application which listens for clients.
To set up a sending utility:
./some-program-with-output.sh | stdsend 192.168.0.1 --name="MyApp"The follow arguments can be provided to stdrecv:
| Argument | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
--port= |
No | Override the listen port. Default: 8888. |
The follow arguments can be provided to stdsend:
| Argument | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
| (address/addresses) | Yes | Destination addresses, including port if not the default. Multiple addresses separated by a space. |
--name= |
No | Set the client name. For display, max 5 characters (trimmed otherwise). |
You can specify 1 or more destination addresses. All of the following are valid:
192.168.0.1(port:8888)localhost:3333http://server.com(port:8888)
Some CLI apps do funny things to their output in terms of buffering. Some times you can get around this by using stdbuf. For example, some cryptocurrency miners don't buffer by line, which can be fixed by running:
stdbuf -oL -eL ./miner | stdsend 192.168.0.100 --name="Rig01"
