hello i am running multiple theads like this

thread1=Thread.new do  
puts "Thread 1 started "  
system(“start E:\TradingTools\IBController  
\IBControllerStart\_customised.bat”)  
end  
#end  
thread2=Thread.new do  
puts "Thread 2 started "  
application = WIN32OLE.new(“Broker.Application”)  
end

When thread1 starts, it sometimes outputs some error messages as i can  
see it being printed to the ruby console.How do i monitor the text  
being printed by thread1 so that i can shut down the thread1 if needed
