Why it is desired to avoid setting a process group for the main shell (and presumably its children) in a boot script (such as rc.local)? Comments in these scripts state that since "echo" is a shell builtin, output from "echo" is redirected to "/dev/console" to prevent such an occurrence. Post the answer, or mail it (and all flames) to me by Groundhog Day and I'll summarize. Brian Fitzgerald
