There is no straightforward way, although it probably could be
implemented, e.g. by specifying "-" as the output file name. However
some programs write more than one file and in addition they write to the
stdout as well, e.g. g_energy writes the averages etc. This would then
be mixed with your other output and you would have to decipher which
part of the output you need. It probably is easier the way it is now,
even for scripting (I do it all the time..)
