/dev/tty /dev/console /dev/tty0
/dev/tty Current TTY device
/dev/console System console
/dev/tty0 Current virtual console
In the good old days
/dev/console
was System Administrator console. And TTYs were users' serial devices attached to a server. Now /dev/console
and /dev/tty0
represent current display and usually are the same. You can override it for example by adding console=ttyS0
to grub.conf
. After that your /dev/tty0
is a monitor and /dev/console
is /dev/ttyS0
