Is it possible to redirect all outputs from /dev/console to /dev/pts/0?
 

Newbie here.

The serial console is for debugging and will physically disappear when product is mature. However, there are many background processes that may print out statuses/results. These go to /dev/console or serial console.

Telnet will be the only way to get a console. I tried netconsole (with netcat) and it works, but it is only for kernel printk messages. I tried "program > /dev/pts/0" and it works also. However, it would be better if I can just change/add the console /dev/pts/0 to the existing /dev/console.

Is it possible? Thanks.

Why not use log files?
 

SJDad,

Why not redirect the program outputs to log files that have the advantage of being viewable from any terminal login?

If you are logging in using Bash, then the programs could be started up like so:

program >& /var/log/program.log

The >& captures both standard output (STDOUT) and standard error output (STDERR).

Using logfile works great if the system does not crash. If the system crashes, we would like to get as much information as possible by logging user-space messages remotely as well.

Sounds like you should use syslogd. See the documentation via the command: man syslogd.
