I want to run a script (something.tcl) with a program (NS2-Network simulator )in Ubuntu 12.04. In order to run that program I have to write the below command:

NS something.tcl

when I type that command I see something like this for example

blah                  
bleh
bloo

My question is this: Is there any command in Ubuntu which tells me, for each line of that output which NS2 files write those?*Note:*I am sure those are not output of somthing.tcl
