Israel, I'm afraid you may have incompatible goals with the setups of most Linux boxes. Consider that consoles aren't needed on many machines. Consider that on many machines, serial is the only console available. Other systems use vga console, others use framebuffer console, and many boot into X in a real hurry, masking whatever console used to be there. If you want to write to the physical console, your best bet may be to use syslog, as configured by syslog.conf(5). If you really want interactive responses, why not just use the stdin, stdout, and stderr that your program was passed when it was exec()ed? That will work no matter if the program was started on a console, over telnet, or ssh. -- http://sardonix.org/
