Question

Im no bash expert so bear with me

I have a python script thats starting other processes, which then emit log messages on stdout.
what bash command would I use to redirect stdout of those child processes back to the stdout of the parent process (the python script thats starting the processes)?

thank you in advance

Answer 1

If you just want to capture the output of the child processes in your python script, the best way to do it would be to use the subprocess module:

import subprocess

p = subprocess.Popen(['/bin/ls', '-l'], stdout=subprocess.PIPE)
(out, _) = p.communicate()
print "Output:", out
