Log to standard output

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I've recently added support for mintty in my version of SuperPutty 
(https://github.com/akngo/superputty/tree/mintty_hotkey), and I wonder if it is 
possible to retrieve content from mintty's output.

A feature that I would like to add is to notify the user of recent activity. I 
don't think the log file option would be adequate for this.

After trying a lot of different things, the solution was quite simple. When 
setting the log file (command argument), use a - instead to log to stdout. This 
allows me to detect output of background mintty processes and highlight the tab 
of that process. In the consuming .NET app, I have something along the line of:

m_Process = new Process();
m_Process.EnableRaisingEvents = true;
m_Process.StartInfo.FileName = "path/to/mintty.exe";
m_Process.StartInfo.Arguments = "-l - /bin/bash -l";

// Allows me to retrieve the output
m_Process.StartInfo.RedirectStandardOutput = true;

// For the RedirectStandardOutput to work
m_Process.StartInfo.UseShellExecute = false;

// Handler for data received event
m_Process.OutputDataReceived += m_Process_OutputDataReceived;

Thanks, this actually was exactly what I was trying to figure out for another 
project!
