How Might I Do This: Intercept output to /dev/console

Hello,

I have many programs that write to /dev/console as a default but do not
allow for the specification of a (regular) output file. Thus, filtering
their output is (to my knowledge) not possible.

I'd like to intercept messages written to /dev/console, filter or act upon
them, then forward them to /dev/console. The 'paradigm' I have in mind is a
VM/CMS program (Sterling software ?) called VM:Operator which would respond
to messages based on a control-file's message templates.

Any ideas on how to do this ?
