php script output from another terminal

Question

I have a php (cli) script on one terminal. It is constantly echoing the mysql calls etc. Is there any way I can see that output from another terminal, so that I can monitor the progress of that script?

Thanks

You can

1. use a terminal multiplexer or

2. modify your PHP script to write all output to a log file, or

3. pipe stdout and/or stderr to a log file (ex: php myscript.php > output.log ). If you use a log file, you can monitor it in real time with tail -f output.log .
