Use of TTY7-TTY12

[Raffaele Sandrini <rasa@gmx.ch>]

Hi all

In the debain sytem the tty7-12 are not used by default. How can i for
example use TTY10 to schow me the messages file. If i log in in an other tty
and type 'tail /var/log/messages > /dev/tty12' then it does show the changing
of messages there but the other tty is blocked because tail is attached to
the starter tty. How can i make that? Or generally: How can i detach any sort
of apps from the ttys?

Cheers,
Raffaele
