Hi,

with tee command, or similar things you can always redirect output to
file, and from there you may apply the script to get output from that.
probably use source command to automate and use shell command to run
the script to get the things done.
sure your way just gets output instantly, but other than that what
value does it add; I am trying to understand.

Regards,
Oza.
