Run process in xmonad and capturing output

Hi!

For my xmonad config, I need something like spawn, but that will return any output from the process spawned.

I was thinking of using runProcessWithInput from Xmonad.Utils.Run.

Is there a better way to do this?

Re: Run process in xmonad and capturing output

You may find runProcess from System.Process to be of some help. It takes several options, including handles for STDIN, STDOUT, and STDERR.
