Try this: (after creating the virtual terminal in /dev first of course) top > /dev/ttyv4 & Then you can alt-F5 to it. If you are wanting it to use alt-F9, that would be /dev/ttyv8. The & sign is so you get your terminal window back. Otherwise it would wait for top to terminate. To create the virtual terminals: cd /dev sh ./MAKEDEV vty5 or (for your alt-F9 scenario) sh ./MAKEDEV vty8 I hope this helps. Mark.
