[Rule-list] Anybody have experience with openvt?

I agree, although I'd run at least two initially, so
that if something unexpected locks up the vt,
there's a spare to use for admin.

I also notices the chvt command, and played around using it to switch to a console, and then back to X.

something like that might be a neat wrapper for
console apps spawned from root menu. (pine,irc, etc.)

I'm surprised at how little comment there has been about this idea for RULE. 
For what it's worth, I'm happy running one console at boot up and then using 
"openvt -sw". I'm sure that it saves time at boot up too.


Sincerely, and with thanks,
Eugene T.S. Wong
