    Is it possible to open a controlling terminal
    (for output only) via cron? I'd like to dedicate
    /dev/tty1, for example, on my linux (RH 9.0) box
    to the ncurses display of a program written in C
    that requires no user input. Is this possible?

    For the curious, my intention is to use the linux
    box as a real-time measurement/display system, where
    the console is dedicated to showing GPS measurements
    acquired from a receiver through the serial port.

    Thanks!
