Hello.
How can I determine that the program is run via ssh or on a headless box? The problem is with Linux Console Tools. It tries opening /dev/tty, /dev/tty0 and /dev/console respectively upon the start, and it fails on ssh'ed or headless boxes. Is there any way to catch the situation? I've thought that open should return ENODEV in these cases, but it doesn't..
