Silly embedded Linux question: Reading console from a program - Dan Lyke - Mar 31 12:30:44 2009

I've got Linux on an AT91SAM9261-EK, and I need to grab the console
messages so my main control can do the right thing when devices are
connected. I tried:

cat /dev/console > test.txt

just gives me a newline in test.txt, so I'm guessing that
opening /dev/console for read and using it in my select() loop isn't
going to give me what I want.

Anyone know what will?

Thanks!

Dan
