[Sunhelp] why,i see syslog messages on the display(work space) instead of console

[Mr Rene Occelli]

Hi,

The -C argument is missing for a cmdtool under openwin or dtterm under CDE

See man cmdtoool or man dtterm

Lena% man dtterm
Reformatting page.  Wait... done

User Commands                                           dtterm(1)

DESCRIPTION
     The dtterm utility provides runtime support of legacy appli-
     cations written for terminals conforming to ANSI X3.64-1979
     and ISO 6429:1992(E), such as the DEC VT220.

OPTIONS
     The following options are available:
 .....
        -C    Specify that output directed to /dev/console be
              directed instead to the terminal window.  It is
              provided as a way to prevent output, which would
              normally be displayed on the internal terminal emu-
              lator (ITE), from overwriting the X server's
              display.  It is not provided as a general purpose
              mechanism to direct the output from an arbitrary
              system's /dev/console to an arbitrary X server.
              Ownership of, and read-write permission for,
              /dev/console is required in order to redirect con-
              sole output.


SO you need to have a cmdtool -C or dtterm -C console open in youir
workspace to avoid theses messages
