Try using an entry in /etc/syslog.conf as annotated therein: # # I like to have messages displayed on the console, but only on a virtual # console I usually leave idle. # daemon,mail.*;\ news.=crit;news.=err;news.=notice;\ *.=debug;*.=info;\ *.=notice;*.=warn /dev/tty5 Or as suggested in "Linux Tips HOWTO / v3.0, 7 January 1997" add the following line to /etc/syslog.conf *.* /dev/tty5 to dump everything on tty5. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] Jack Kern Yarmouth, Nova Scotia Debian GNU/Linux
