gys,
 how can i send the  /var/log/messages on a designated terminal?
i remember some many years ago i saw on of SAs having messages file to 11 or 10 terminal from the moment machine booted. The gain - they just switch to it instead of typing "tail ....".

Hope makes sence and thank you in advance.

I don't practice this myself, but I suspect an entry in /etc/inittab like this would suffice:
tty11::respawn:/usr/bin/tail -f /var/log/messages
