It sounds like you want comint-scroll-to-bottom-on-output set to 'this
or maybe 'others

comint-scroll-to-bottom-on-output is a variable defined in `comint.el'.
Its value is this

  This variable is an alias for `comint-move-point-for-output'.

Documentation:
Controls whether interpreter output moves point to the end of the output.
If nil, then output never moves point to the output.
 (If the output occurs at point, it is inserted before point.)
If t or `all', move point in all windows showing the buffer.
If `this', move point only the selected window.
If `others', move point only in other windows, not in the selected window.

The default is nil.
