There is instruction, how to do script output to console 2,3, or another, and autostart them on computer switch on.
In that case we cannot put script start in /etc/rc.d/rc.local file, as always, because in that stage agetty, and consoles not activated, and therefore, script at that stage cannot do output to non-existing at that time, console, therefore, we put it in crontab with special preffix:
crontab -e
and in crontab, we write:
@reboot /path/to/yourscript.scr
script itself have construction like that:
#!/bin/sh tail -f /data/recv.log > /dev/tty2
where /dev/tty2 is console 2, /dev/tty3 is console 3, and so on.
