It is very likely that an embedded device is using busybox as the shell rather than bash. That would be good news for you as there is a setconsole builtin for busybox that will redirect console output to a different device such as the telnet pty. Bash does not include console redirection. Busybox may be built with or without the setconsole feature. See the http://man-wiki.net/index.php/1:busybox manual and check the details of your device. -- Mike Stroyan <m...@stroyan.net>
