Good morning, When I ssh into a remote system, I am able to see what is happening on VT2 by entering the command 'cat /dev/vcs2'. I tried using tail -f to get a continuous output of the console, but it fails to ever update. Is it possible to watch another VT in real time over ssh? Thanks, Craig
What I am trying to do is monitor logs on a remote system. I have the log entries going to the log files as well as VT2. If I ssh into the machine and tail -f the system log, it quits updating when the log is rotated. So I figured if I could watch the second console in real time I would be able to see the same thing without interruption when the log file rotates. Is this possible? Is there a better way to do it?
