I know that there's "chvt." But that doesn't work from within an xterm: 21:50 $ tty /dev/ttyp0 21:50 $ chvt 1 chvt: VT_ACTIVATE: Operation not permitted I think this might be related to a message in another thread a couple of days ago about setting the num lock to default on in X and getting some weird error about "stdin is not a VT." How would one pass a command to tty7 from ttyp0? Or is this the wrong track? Rob -- "Consider a spherical bear, in simple harmonic motion..." -- Professor in the UCB physics department
