NAME¶
systemd-getty-generator - Generator for enabling getty instances on the console
SYNOPSIS¶
/usr/lib/systemd/system-generators/systemd-getty-generator
DESCRIPTION¶
systemd-getty-generator is a generator that automatically instantiates
serial-getty@.service on the kernel console /dev/console if that is not
directed to the virtual console subsystem. It will also instantiate
serial-getty@.service instances for virtualizer consoles, if execution in a
virtualized environment is detected. This should ensure that the user is shown
a login prompt at the right place, regardless in which environment the system
is started. For example, it is sufficient to redirect the kernel console with
a kernel command line argument such as
console= to get both kernel
messages and a getty prompt on a serial TTY. See
kernel-parameters.txt[1] for more information on the
console=
kernel parameter.
systemd-getty-generator implements the
generator specification[2].
Further information about configuration of gettys you may find in
systemd for
Administrators, Part XVI: Gettys on Serial Consoles (and Elsewhere)[3].
