Thanks a lot. Already done, works perfect!

Yes, indeed. that would be the N°1 solution, if possible.

Paste that onto the view, leave it for a second, wipe the view and repeat. It will flicker badly and if you get more than ten lines of output in a second you will lose information. But you can always have a function on the menu to display the entire logfile.
Good hint, which led me to another possibility. I could wirte log-messages always to a logfile and if user needs to look at that log, a button with system(tail -f ~/.logfile.log) or so opens a Terminal window and enables a look to the file.
And if that window should be inadvertently closed it would not harm my application.

I'm all ears too! (-:

Quote:Another approach would be to use the hey command to remove the tab from your Terminal window. That makes it a bit harder for the user to close it down. Also harder to move it around, so also use hey to position it somewhere in a corner and resize it.
A nice possibility too. From what i've seen i have to dig into that hey stuff.

It seems i have a little bit longer to think about it and to test various solutions.
Anyway, thanks again, clasqm!
