How can I do this in FreeBSD? Before you ask, the application is an free standing machine that boots up, starts processes from the /usr/local/etc/rc.d system, that use various consoles for loging the statuses of these processes. Whenn remotely booted, I want the corect status screen to wind up being displayed, no the login screen on the first tty. -- "They that would give up essential liberty for temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety." -- Benjamin Franklin To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
