And then there is:
Q: "Do you know what time it is?"
A: "Yes."

My hunch is that OP wants to know how to get the script output to another terminal...

One way:
Find the device name using "tty"
Redirect the output from a command to the desired device.

Example:
Open two terminals
In the second one, enter "tty" (It will give you something like /dev/pts/1)
In the FIRST terminal, do "ls > /dev/pts/1

You should see the output in terminal #2.
