It is currently "write only" and routes the data written to it to the MVS SYSLOG. I wish that it could be read from to do the reverse. That is, when a line goes out the the MVS SYSLOG, the data would also be written to /dev/console. But in such a way that the data would not be "buffered", like in a FIFO which can cause the writer to wait, but only sent to whomever had a READ operation "waiting" on /dev/console. And while I'm waiting for that, I will again put in my request for a "/dev/intrdr" as well so that I can __easily__ submit a job from a normal shell script instead of being forced to do it in REXX. -- The temperature of the aqueous content of an unremittingly ogled culinary vessel will not achieve 100 degrees on the Celsius scale.
