[Live-devel] Getting Status

[pjf at cape.com]

Thanks, that is part of the answer, now for the trickier part.

it appears the output is direct to the console, in that I can't pipe it
anywhere. Is this correct ?  is there a way to get the SDP information
optimally to STDOUT? or at least a file ???

Thanks
