    Hi Mark,

    Thanks for your reply.
    Yes, I know this Screen program, but that last time I looked at it (or some
    equivalent?)
    it took way too much resources for my embedded system.

    Look, I could also write the output of my app to some file in ramdrive
    or perhaps create a HMTL page with my output, which could remotely be read
    using httpd ....

    But I thought by simply automate login and select some console (telnet
    prefered) would be the most easy
    and least resources solution

    Pls prove me wrong :)

Many regards,
Bonny
