"How can I completely disable / redirect the console input/output after I
already login in a console "

This is what I mean here.

My problem is :

I using bash to atomaticly loggin the console on serial to run a certain
program,
So anytime I connect to the serial , I can trace the output and input
commands.

Actually you don't (use bash to login). What happens is that the login
starts up bash for you.
So you may install a user (called application), which uses your
application as a shell instead of bash.
Look at ``man adduser'' especially the -s option.
The application runs, and when it terminates, your application
user is logged out.

I believe I can achieve my aim by modify some kernel code sooner or later
but I wonder , isn't there just a simple way to do it ?

The above is certainly simple, if it fits your bill.
