In a rather naive attempt, I tried to make a handy clock always available on ttyv7. I've put the following line in /etc/ttys: ttyv7 "/usr/gamges/grdc" cons25 on secure It did not work. The tty was simply not accessible, giving me a nice -beep!- when I tried Alt-F8. After reading the getty man page, I understand that there may be a little (much) more to do for grdc to work this way, so I ask: is it possible to do something like that? It would be nice. Thanks.
