Hi!
Is there anybody out there who has managed to get contool working?? I grabbed
the source, fixed up some problems with regex but now I can't manage to get
it to work.
My problem is that it refuses to open /dev/console.
The relevant code is:-
if (ioctl(fileno(slave), TIOCCONS, NULL) == -1)
abend("%s: could not attach to /dev/console", program);
Should this code work? I can't find any documentation on the TIOCCONS ioctl.
If it is important I am running XFree 3.1.1 using xdm, and FreeBSD 2.0.5.
Rgds,Mark
