You don't understand. Of cause I have special file /dev/tty on every system. But there are no keyboard and display connected to the box. This is common case for most of servers.

Yes, You are right and here it is present: file /dev/tty /dev/tty: character special (5/0) And tty command return: /dev/pts/1 > No, that's not the unique.
