stdout question

[B1gger]

Hi,

I am pretty new to linux and I have a question about stdout. I want to write an application which gets or has access to the stdout/stderr of all processes running at the moment. I know that I can redirect the stdout of a process on the shell at startup, but is it also possible to have access to the stdout of processes which are not child processes of mine? I am developing in C and I use Fedora 8.

No. Not even as root.

Unless you want to modify the kernel.
