Hey Pete,

Yes, that sends stdout and errout to the same file. If you also want to 
watch it while it runs, you can open a second terminal window and use 
`tail -f /path/to/some/file`.

You can access gpilots options by running `gpilotd-control-applet`, it 
should be in your path.

Cheers,


Callum.
