I do the following on my server and you can do the same if you're using syslog: Add the following to /etc/syslog.conf: # Mirror all messages sent to syslog on VT 12. *.* /dev/tty12 Add the following to /etc/conf.d/local.start # Change to VT 12 on startup. /usr/bin/chvt 12 I'm sure you can do the same with other system loggers but you will need to read man pages to find out. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
