Hi,
I'm sorry to keep asking all these questions, I'm just learning VDS and I want to make sure I can really use it before I get it.

How can I get the output of a command line app from a dos window?

My VDS skill is not very high I admit, I have been learning for about 3 days now, so I only know some basic things.

That wont let me send things to it will it?
Maybe it will be easier if I tell you want i am doing. I am trying to make a GUI for MySQL. I though I could use the command line mysql monitor and send commands from VDS, but I need to know what its showing on the screen in VDS too.

You can use the command (console) dll, i think its called VDScmd or some, look fo it in the download sections, in the search look for "command" or "console", i think its free and very good. If i remember it was made by PGWARE (what a great vds addon maker)

With this you can get all the info you need from console applications, send commands and retrieve the result strings, so you can use this with hidden console applications and communicate with them.

If it's for MySQL, you might try Tommy Sools his VDSDLL3. That one can connect to a MySQL database.

Thank you I will look into both those options.
