[Rule-list] Anybody have experience with openvt?

[chris clark]

I can't try it on this machine (fixed freq. monitor)

but the man page says:
-----------------------------------------------
EXAMPLES
       openvt  can  be used to start a shell on the next free VT,
       by using the command:

       openvt bash

       To start the shell as a login shell, use:

       openvt -l bash
------------------------------------------------
give that a try.

Hi everybody.

I can't get openvt to launch a new console with bash. Anybody know how to do 
that? As root, I typed:

[root at ew486 root]# openvt
[root at ew486 root]#

I switched to the next available terminal, but no bash. I think that this 
may be a good way of saving memory, because we only open the vt's that we 
need. What do you guys think?


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