run script on specified tty

Asked by GByte

Hello!

I must print information from ifconfig every 30 sec on specified tty (for example tty9).

I wrote "script" watch -n 2 ifconfig.

How can i run this script on startup of the system on tty9?

Just use normal shell redirection, for instance

script
exec > /dev/tty9
watch -n 30 ifconfig
end script

Of course, you'll have to make sure not to run it before /dev/tty9 becomes available.
