2884.0. "Session manager grabs console messages" by HGOVC::CHRISFIRTH () Wed Jun 06 1990 03:26

    I couldnt find the answer to this from DIR/TIT=SESSION so...
    
    How does the session manager grab the console messages (on Ultrix)?
    Normally they would go to /dev/console , so what is it doing?
    And if I dont have a session manager can I redirect the messages to
    a "normal" file (eg a file I can edit)?
    
    Thanks,
    
    Chris

pick an idle xterm or dxterm.  Su to root.
do a "cat -u /dev/xcons &"
All console messages will now appear on that xterm/dxterm.

    I couldnt get this to work. Could you give me a pointer to
    documentation on /dev/xcons because I cant find any mention of it
    in my doc set.
    
    Thanks,
