Re: Program on a tty

[Mike List <roscoe@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I have a related question, which regards directing output from a perl
script used to query UofM's weather server to /dev/tty5. Settled on
"head 40 weathrep.pl AZO>/dev/tty5" but the unassigned VC doesn't know
how to scroll and the output is too big to fit on one screen. This seems
like a handy use for unused  VCs, already using tty8 to display log
messages. I imagine a news page could be queried to spit out current
events, etc.
