Hi,
I suppose this post could fall under comp.os.linux/comp.os.unix as
well, but I figured since my end goal was control from C++ code I
figured this group might be the place to start.
As the subject states, is it possible to control an xterm running on a
linux desktop from another standalone program? For example, suppose I
have program running inside an xterm on the desktop. From another
piece of software I would like to be able to control when that xterm
pops up or is minimized (iconified). So it acts as a log window for
the program's output. I would guess that I would need to capture the
PID of the xterm at startup, and then maybe send a signal telling it
to popup/popdown? Is something like this possible? Or maybe someone
else has a suggestion.
Thanks in advance for any guidance.
