[LUNI] capturing shell output in a cut/paste buffer

[Jay Strauss]

Hi,

Is there anyway to run a command and capture the output in a cut/paste buffer?

For example, I needed to send an email that showed the output of:
cat /var/log/syslog | grep networkmanager

So I had to write the output to a file, then open the file in an
editor where I could do a "select all".  then paste it into my email.

I would have liked to just run the command and have the output go
directly to a cut/paste buffer.  (better yet run the command from
directly from my browser, and have the output go to the browser's
window)

Thanks
Jay
