I am trying out mtr (My traceroute) for educational purposes. However it is quite disturbing that I can't manage it to print results to stdout
directly.
Per default it opens a GTK-Window where it prints its results to. If I use the option -t
I can force it to use ncurses
in terminal.
But this isn't helpful at all.
I can't redirect the stuff into a file or pipe (well I can but there is a lot of disturbing stuff like
ESC[?1049h
from ncurses or so).When I define cycles e.g. with
-r -c 1
the result immediately disappears from the prompt after the run is through.If I stop the program the results also disappears.
Is there any way to use this program "the UNIX-way"?
I just want the result out to stdout
, no fancy extras!
I have installed the package mtr
on a current debian wheezy
.
$ mtr --version
mtr 0.82
