Suppose I direct all messages to /dev/console Is it possible to read them from /dev/console ? because swatch can take only piped or tailed -f input. What device can I use and how to read it? Any suggestions? -- # Terletsky Slavik # University "Lvivska Poytechnica" # # Network Administrator # mailto:ts@polynet.lviv.ua #
