Hey All, Forgive me if you have seen this post on the RH9 list but I find this a rather strange issue and would to find out what is at the heart of it. I wrote a script to forward output to tty6 BUT it wouldn't let me until I added the tty group to my user's permissions. However in RH8 I was able to just simply forward the output with the '>' operator. Maybe my script will shed some light on the subject. *********************Folding script*************************** #!/bin/sh #chkconfig: 345 99 99 #description: Start | Stop | Restart | (Check the) Status of the FAH client source /etc/rc.d/init.d/functions FAH="/home/USER/folding/FAH3Console-LinuxB.exe" cd /home/USER/folding/ >/dev/null RETVAL=1 case "$1" in start) echo -n "Starting Folding@Home client ...
