How to direct syslog messages to particular tty

[kal]

Hi All,

I wrote a script which will run in ubuntu box and will display in tty1, without loading the gdm. The problem is when I plugged in a usb drive it will cause some messages to be printed into the current tty user logged in.

Like : [sdb] Assuming drive cache: write through

This is really disturbing when a user is running the script. Is there anyway that I can direct all the messages to some other tty which I don't use.

Thanks in adv,

Kal

Hi. Using shell redirection should work. For example, to display the contents of file ~/testfile on tty4 I would do something like this:

cat ~/testfile > /dev/tty4

Thanks for ur reply x1a4. But that is not my case. Plug in a usb at a random time and system printing a message abt that in currently opened tty is different. This is something I can't redirect (since I don't know where this happens). If I can disable the system from printing these events to the tty might help. But I don't know how to do that
