Hello,
When I start a tcsh not connected to a /dev/tty? I get a annoying
"Couldnt get a file descriptor referring to the console".
Looking at a strace output one can see it tries to access the /dev/tty,
/dev/tty0 and /dev/console without permissions and thus fail and output
the above string to stderr.
AFAIU this is a perfectly correct behaviour so the only fix should be
to filter out the stderr output in order not to disturb the user.
I think the simplest way to do this is to also pipe the stderr into the
grep and not only stdout. This should not be a problem as the grep won't
match this line.
Here is the patch:
