James, Thanks. I've tried showconsole a couple of times in the past but given up in frustration. I never get output, or don't know where to look, or don't know how to configure it. (Or all of the above!) The man page seems pretty useless. It's one of those 'If you already know how to use this then this will make sense..." sorts of things. I've reemerged it and rebooted. What now? Thanks, Mark
