Hi,

An existing message stream is what is required by SteamDevice. It does

not launch the stream server in any means.

An aSub record would just work. In the subroutine you can launch the

script and parse its output.

If you are not fixed to database based IOC, a PCASpy server works

equally well. Here is an example close to what you are doing

Hi

I was considering to make a simple IOC to monitor our "queues" on a pc

cluster. The status of the queue can be returned from a simple shell script.

I was wondering if it is possible to use the streamDevice framework to

call a shell script on the IOC host and then process the output. That

would be a very easy way to make simple connections to existing programs.

What would be the best approach?
