Scraping OpenHAB Karaf Console Data

Realized an easier way of scraping the Karaf console output – no need to SSH into the console (which, evidently, can timeout for inactivity … something I sort on my OpenSSH server with a config parameter whenever I’m looking to use tee and scrape output).

You can just pipe the startup script to tee. Have to push stderr into stdout to get the *errors* logged.

./start.sh 2>&1 | tee -a /tmp/logfile.txt

The output gets a little funky – maybe because of the color flags on some of the text? Dunno, but it’s grabbing the text and something like tail displays it without funky odd stuff

But you get the java exceptions too:
