I was actually thinking console for that part of the terminology, but
yeah, that's what I want to attach to, the man page didn't tell me how
though.
This seemed relevant:
Output to a virtual console that not currently is on the display is saved
in a buffer that holds a "screenfull" (normally 25) lines. Any output
written to /dev/console (the original console device) is echoed to
/dev/ttyv0.
However, cat'ing and less'ing the device did nothing, except act as if
it were waiting for input, and none was coming.
I however did find out which screen I'm on using ps -A and grep:
sjss@legolas 12:01:15 (0) /ports/java/diablo-jdk15 > ps -A | grep tty
sjss 0.0 0 0:00.33 0.6 0 0 0 26343 26339
sshd: sjss@ttyp1 (sshd)
sjss 0.0 0 0:09.61 0.5 0 0 0 43906 43903
sshd: sjss@ttyp0 (sshd)
So, I want to see what is going on with ttyp0
ttyp0
Thanks,
