I'd recommend making it work like "tee", so that it adds a new sink to the 
outputs, rather than replacing them. That way the output continues to go to 
the console.

It might be better to create a publisher module that initially subscribes 
the existing stdout and stderr but allows other sources (eg. rcon 
terminals) to subscribe. Strings sent to this module go out to all 
subscribers.
