Hi, I found a thread from 1997 concering this subject. Gerd wrote: > Just insert an "exec 2>/tmp/errorlog" at the top of the script, and you'll be able to use stdout. Unfortunately I don't know what script he's talking about. I've got the same problem but don't know where to insert the line. I start vgetty from inittab : v1:2345:respawn:/usr/local/sbin/vgetty /dev/modem Thanks for any help. Stephan
