<br>
Does anyone else ever launch a substantial build on the "local console" and then leaves the Mac, but would like to monitor progress remotely sometimes from a simple SSH remote connection?<br>
<br>
I do, and wonder how difficult it would be to be able to do something like `tail -f `port logfile foo` | port_progress` and get the same kind of progress report shown on the terminal where you launched the build command.<br>
<br>
I know the progress bar is built from information that's also sent to the log file but not how straightforward it would be to write a Tcl script that loads the appropriate package(s) and applies the progress reporting routines on input read from stdin.<br>
<br>
Implementing `tail -f` in Tcl would be a next-level exercise ;)<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
R.<br>
