The idea is: if I remotely ssh into my Raspberry Pi, is there a way to echo to the Raspberry Pi's terminal?
Assuming I haven't entered desktop mode.
The console is on /dev/tty0 so
echo string >/dev/tty0
You might have to add yourself to the tty group
sudo adduser pi tty

You have to log in again before changes like this are effective. I'm not familiar with joan's use of
adduserhere, so if that doesn't work, trysudo usermod -G tty -a pi(and login again). – goldilocks♦ May 8 '15 at 18:32 -
I have ran both add user commands, both work, but permission is still denied to tty0 – andykais May 8 '15 at 18:51

Did you close the ssh session and restart? Are you using Raspbian? What does ls -l /dev/tty0 report? What does groups report? tty0 is tty digit zero. – joan May 8 '15 at 19:03
