Re: redirect output to a command line

nm, I think I got it:

vim --servername SWILSON --remote-send ':call RedirFile("tabs",
"/dev/pts/57")<CR>'

with:

function! RedirFile(cmd, file)
redir => message
silent execute a:cmd
redir END
let lines = split(message, '\n')
call writefile(lines, a:file)
endfunction

In my vimrc seems to do what I want
