There are multiple ways I can help you: 1. You can try "shared session" by using "screen". (read info pages) On first console tty use "screen", On second console use "screen -x" to attach yourself to shared session (requires login of single user on both tty's.) 2. redirect it "> /dev/ttyX" or use "wall" command. 3. Finally, you can scroll text-terminal up in Linux by using "ctrl+page up". NOTE: works only if you are in non-X-terminal, but real TTY, *and* only if you haven't changed to other tty. Does that helped you ? -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Unfortunately, none of this seems to work (well, the "screen" thing might, but only if I've failed to understand it). The problem is that /dev/tty10 is being used for output by the system, but it's not running any processes. I can't log into it, and I can't get a command prompt "attached" to it. I can't therefore redirect it or use "tee" when I start a process on it, because I don't start the process. Also, it also doesn't scroll. I'm not sure what you're driving at by " real TTY, *and* only if you haven't changed to other tty." My system boots into X on VT-7. The kernel is sending its log messages to to VT-10 (because that's what it does), and while I can say "echo blah >/dev/tty10" and it shows up OK, I need to get a copy of what is going there. Thanks for trying, sorry I perhaps wasn't very clear with the problem. Any other thoughts?
