Any devs out there have a solution for this guy wanting to open a tty? https://support.nagios.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=43566&start=9999#bottom
Without looking: socat, always socat. ;-)
After looking: Yes.
Replace "/path/to/watchqueue 1" with "socat EXEC:'/path/to/watchqueue 1',pty". Sprinkle with ",ctty", ",setsid" as determined necessary. Probably not.

Correction: "socat EXEC:'/path/to/watchqueue 1',pty -". stdin/out is not implied with socat, always need to provide two ends of the link.
Thanks! Looks like one of our devs stepped in. How would you like me to credit you if he comes back with a question?
