'The system console' is an I/O device the kernel and scripts started during boot will use for "user interaction", ie, print output supposed to be useful for someone looking at it and possibly, request input from such a someone. This will usually be a terminal device but it doesn't strictly have to. The crucial point here is that "terminal" usually refers to an interactively used (virtual) device providing facilities for text-based user interaction. The system console will usually be one. xterms act as terminal (as do all kinds of other programs providing 'a CLI interface') but it's always about user interaction. Programs don't usually use terminals to talk to other programs (with some exceptions, eg, using expect to drive an interactive program accessed via ssh, to name an at least remotely "not ancient" example). _______________________________________________ Dng mailing list Dng@lists.dyne.org https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng
