Sounds like the same problem I had with top running in /dev/tty9 from inittab
Thanks to roadcap@cfw.com (William E. Roadcap), et al, I now have the problem
solved by using:
/usr/bin/top </dev/tty9 >/dev/tty9 2>&1 in my /etc/inittab
I, also, had no previous problem, until procps-1.01 or some kernel change
fixed something that previously allowed incorrect behavior of redirected
programs.
And I thought I already knew everything ;^> (Maybe if I read some of the
books
sitting on my shelf I would be closer!!)
