I have successfully installed metalog, and when I run it, messages are
successfully logged to files in various /var/log/* directories I defined in the
metalog.conf file. However, I have been unable to direct the output to the
console, unlike with syslogd. My question is what I should do to see the output
on console ttyvb, which I see with syslogd when I press Ctrl-Alt-F12.

Here is the relevant portion of metalog.conf:

Console logging :

~  facility = "*"
~  command  = "/usr/local/sbin/consolelog.sh"

Consolelog.sh has the following contents:

#!/bin/sh

echo "$1 [$2] $3" >/dev/ttyvb

~From /etc/ttys, /dev/ttyvb is configured as "ttyvb none unknown off secure",
with tabs instead of spaces.
