This seemed a little bit suspicious. Now, trying echo some text >/dev/tty returns bash: /dev/tty: No such device or address Now trying the command tty says /dev/tty1 Now, I tried echo some text >/dev/tty1 It echoed correctly some text on the console. Then, I tried echo some text >/dev/tty Now (!!!???) it echoes correctly "some text". It seems that the cmd echo some text > `tty` will repair something, but I don't no what and why. ----------------------------------------------------- The above described problem first appeared with Kernel 2.4.12, I tried the following kernels (now 2.4.16), BUT WITH NO SUCCESS. Kernel 2.4.10 was _not buggy_. Additionally, the problem does not arise on all my LINUX workstations, but only on some. And it does not depend on the harware platform. And is does not depend on the distribution. Both on RedHat 7.1 ans Redhat 7.2 having the problem.
