Catching output from unterminated shell commands

[Oliver Bosse]

Hi all,

does anybody know how to handle output that comes from shell commands
which don't exit terminated?

Example:

ping -c 1 Google exits terminated after one ping

where

ping Google doesn't exit immediately and terminated.
It goes on writing to standard out and the phone hangs.

much more complicated but something i need would be a telnet session.

Does anybody know if this is possible and how?

Are you calling these commands with Phone.Shell ?

The Shell keyword is not intended for non-exiting processes. You can try using the Threading library and call it from a different thread.
