How can I redirect the console output to a spedcific Xterm (or similar client)?
I am running X11R4 on an HP 9000 model 350 workstation running
HP-UX version 6.5. When running on the console, all annoying console
messages disrupt my display. Is there such a thing as "xconsole"?
If there is, how can I get it?

My display here is 'dsndata:0.0', so i did 'echo dsndata >> /usr/lib/X11/Xconsoles' to create the file from ksh. b) Start a hpterm process from your ~/.x11start file with the '-C' option... See the man page on hpterm for more info... My ksh startup line in ~/.x11start is: hpterm -display $DISPLAY -C -iconic -title KSH -geometry 80x24+1+1 $@ & The only gotcha is that each time you start/kill a hpterm shell with the -C flag, you get a console message... you'll see... I did a quick look at the manual page for xterm and it shows the '-C' tag as well... good luck.

It sure would be nice if all that per-workstation stuff would be somewhere other than the /usr hierachy. All our HP's mount precisely the same /usr tree from 1 file server. ---------------- Paul Raveling Raveling@isi.edu

All our > HP's mount precisely the same /usr tree from 1 file server. The Xconsoles file specifies the display numbers on the local system that are allowed to run "hpterm -C". So in the case listed above, Xconsoles should contain "0", not the full display name. You can also put a "*" in the file which says that all displays are allowed to run "hpterm -C". It seems that either of these solutions will solve your problem of having a common /usr tree. If all else fails, make /usr/lib/X11/Xconsoles a CDF (see cdf(4)). Brian Cripe bcripe@cv.hp.com

Due to using two displays of different types on my workstation, I keep stumbling across various things that don't quite work 100% because they assume 1 display per user. The last such case that comes to mind was sm, the contributed session manager. Saving and restoring the session state in this case should really look at "wherever:0.*" instead of just $DISPLAY. Or should there be a separate $DISPLAY and $SCREEN? ---------------- Paul Raveling Raveling@isi.edu

So does mine; when I type xterm -C & it says /usr/bin/X11/xterm: bad command line option "-C" and gives me a usage message that includes the -C as an option. What gives?
