First, wouldn't you want to use mprime -d ? The -m flag simply brings up
the menu.
Secondly, I used to feed the output to a virtual terminal, but decided that
having a hard copy that I could periodically check was better. I've been
piping all the output to a file, such as mprime -d
>>/home/GIMPS/tracking.txt. When it finishes reporting a result, I delete
everything but the result and let mprime continue on to the next LL test
using the same file.
Just my $.02,
Kel
