Hi, These are character devices for I/O. /dev/tty0 is a special device, representing the current terminal. /dev/tty1 is the first virtual terminal, /dev/tty1 is second virtual terminal (usually there are 6 virtual terminals). The other /dev/tty* are for other purposes. Regards, Rami Rosen http://ramirose.wix.com/ramirosen On Wed, Nov 28, 2012 at 12:11 PM, horse_rivers [off-list ref] wrote:
