having some issues with /dev/tty. What binds it to the other ttys? Basically, nothing with pipe is working as a result.

when i type cat test > /dev/tty i get silence.
when i type cat test > /dev/tty x (x being the proper term number) it gives me "test".

im using bash. When it opens up, it gives me the message "bash: no job control in this shell". I have a funny feeling this is related. Google hasnt been anny help-can anyone point me in the right direction to resolve this?

thanks-
