No, it output nothing because the command is passed to the underlying
shell and is not captured by the lisp.

What you want can be done by redirecting the shell output to a stream:

(let ((output (run-shell-command "ls ~" :output :stream))) (loop for line = (read-line output nil nil) while line do (print line)))

For what you want, you'd better use the present-clfswm-terminal function
bound to Control+F12 by default. Or an external program like guake.

But if you have often a use for this in lisp, we can add a function to
do this. Just request.
