something....
(grabtest /VERSION)

3. Grab the output from the client....and do something....

I have following but it does not work....pls help.

a = Thread.new {
@cmdOut = @machine.operations.runCommand("/opt/nc/test/myClient -o
1");
Thread.pass;
print"@cmdOut = #{@cmdOut}"
}
b = Thread.new {
@machine2 = Machine.newD0, {:hostname => @hostname,
:logger => @log, :acquireDelay => @IDelay,
:markDelay => @markIDelay});
