There is a machine i have remote superuser access to which i know has
some interesting info on one of the VTs (/dev/tty2
in particular in
this case). I can try to scare up someone physically on-site to plug in
a monitor, and painfully transcribe the text there by hand, but i'd
prefer the simpler, politer (and less error-prone) option of getting the
data digitally myself via ssh.
Any ideas how i could find the text that is already displayed on that VT? The machine is running a stripped-down debian etch, but i could add packages if i need to.
