Subject: question about /dev/console and /dev/tty
Date: Fri, 27 May 2005 15:01:20 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <4296C5C0.4030409@avantwave.com> (raw)

Hi everyone,

Which device is /dev/console pointing to ? or is it a virtual device ? 
Actually why this node is made?

Why kernel default not providing a control terminal on /dev/console but 
on other device ?

It is not surprising that we can use CTRL-C to terminate some process on 
i386 linux on the Desktop machine,  is that mean the shell on our 
desktop is not using /dev/console ? so where are the shell running on?

Hope anyone can do me a favour.

Regards,
TOM
