What platform? I run on AIX and stole a concept from the IBM SP systems.
I redirect the system console to a flatfile with "/usr/sbin/swcons /var/adm/log/console.log" at system startup. I removed the 'quiet' directive from the rc.adsmserv script and redirect stdout and stderr to /dev/console. Any time I want to look at the TSM console, I just tail -f /var/adm/log/console.log. (Actually, I use 'less' instead of tail, as it's more flexible). I've a log rotate script in cron that runs on Sunday nights and is set to keep three logs (21 days max). I use dsmadmc to actually issue commands to TSM. This has been in place now for 6 years with no problems.
