Hi,

If I am currently login in tty /dev/console, then I want to start a
program in /dev/tty2, how can I do this? Assume I have root privilige.

Thanks.
Bin

There is a program called `open' which does exactly that. I know
there are packages for Linux and FreeBSD. The source code can be
found at ftp://ftp.hs-niederrhein.de/pub/lin...open-1.4.tar.gz .
