How to grab the bukkit terminal output?

Hello ,
currently I'm working with python (my "native" programming language is c++). Well, I started two days ago so don't expect very much =).

But my point is anyway the following:
I wanted to grab the bukkit terminal output. It would be the best if it could be done in realtime. But that's only aesthetic.I would be happy anyway either.

I started already googling around, and wanted to ask, which approach would be "the best" (please excuse my choice of words ).
1. running the server as subprocess
2. push the servers output to stdout and grab it.
3. let the server write his output to a file, and read from file.

Does anyone know what would be the "best" practice?

Thanks a lot!

PS: Did I pick the right subforum?! Wasn't sure about that

I havn't tested it, though.

(For what do you need the server log?)

 

I implemented exactly what you are looking for in SSHD. https://github.com/rmichela/Bukkit-SSHD/

I take the entire console output and copy it into an interactive SSH session. Bukkit 1.7.x uses a hybrid of Java logging and Log4J. The magic happens in ConsoleShellFactory.getIn() method.

 

Hey guys,

thanks for your quick reply.
The reason I'm asking is that I want to write a "server monitor".
I want to drop commands per already existing bash script and get the output from the running bukkit instance.

 

I think there is a command line option to turn off JLine and then you can pipe the output into a text file (or whatever).

You may also be able to use the rcon protocol to read and write to the server from stdin/stdout.
