Hello All,

I have a system (RH9) which accepts barcode scanned numbers via an RS232
port and appends them to a MySQL database.

The system is currently running headless in a warehouse and we dial into it
then use a simple web interface to retrieve the info.

I am very happy that the chaps in the warehouse don't have to login to use
the system :-)

However, it would be helpful if they could read the results of the latest
batch that they are scanning on a screen.  I can easily add a monitor.

If a Linux box is left at a text login prompt can I send a line of text to
the screen and if so then how best to do this?

Or has anybody got any better suggestions?

TIA

Simon
