If the output is text, you can use rxqueue to capture the program ouput
with

monitorapp | rxqueue

Within your REXX code, which can be a Mesa script, you can read the queued
data with either linein, charin or pull, whichever is most convenient.

Rexx Tips & Tricks has a number of queuing examples.
