I am having a problem getting my console messages to show up in my console window (I am running xterm -C) which should work. I have posted to comp.unix. aux.,, which is the system I am running. I was wondering what I am doing wrong. Any help would be appreciated, since the console messages are somewhat import- ant! dave sotnick -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Disclaimer: I'm innocent of anything.

According to the manual page, -C may not work on all systems. It doesn't work on an unadulterated 4.3BSD or System V, since the ioctl needed (TIOCCONS) isn't supplied on those systems. Sun and Sony workstations, to name a couple, do supply this ioctl, and I'm sure others are doing the same. Maybe A/UX just doesn't have this yet.
