use "-stderr" to dump them to the standard error, then redirect the
stderr to stdout then pipe it to whereever you want.
i admit that this is not really trivial.
this should give you a start:
pd -stderr -verbose 2>&1 | while read line
do
echo "${line};" | pdsend 6666 localhost udp
done
you can then fetch everything that is printed via a udp-listener on port
6666, either via pdreceive (which might be kind of pointless in this
case) or via [netreceive] in either a separate pd-task or in the very
same pd-task; be aware of feedbacks then!
and of course you have no console any more...
