Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk I compiled in the 'snp' pseudo-device into my kernel, which supposedly allows you to 'snoop' on any Tty/Vty/Pty in your system. I'd like to use this for when I'm in X windows, so I can monitor the status of some programs still running in text-mode VC's without having to switch out of X. How can I do this? I know I use the "tcpdump" program to use the bpf pseudo-device, is there a similar command to use the snp devices? Also, how do I make the devices in the /dev directory for snp devices? MAKEDEV does not seem to have any commands to make them... Thanks...
