Sometimes the xterm we have designated to receive console output doesn't, which results in, e.g., mail notifications being written to the Sun sereen directly, making a horrible mess of the display. We checked that that window was alive and well and it seemed okay, but when we sent another mail message, the notification was again displayed on the Sun screen instead of the xterm. Can anyone recommend some things to check out next time it does this? Running xterm -C in that window.
