If you're redirecting output to file, you can read the file.  That's how
I'd handle s-povray; I don't know enough about how John is put together
to make any recommendations.  Some applications require you to be at The
Console.  My sources suggest there's no way for you to read the tty the
way you have in mind, so I'm inclined to think that file redirection may
be your best bet.
