<title>Description</title>
|
|
|
|
<para><filename>systemd-getty-generator</filename> is
|
|
a generator that automatically instantiates
|
|
<filename>serial-getty@.service</filename> on the
|
|
kernel console <filename>/dev/console</filename> if
|
|
that is not directed to the virtual console
|
|
subsystem. It will also instantiate
|
|
<filename>serial-getty@.service</filename> instances
|
|
for virtualizer consoles, if execution in a
|
|
virtualized environment is detected. Finally, it will
|
|
instantiate
|
|
<filename>container-getty@.service</filename>
|
|
instances for additional container pseudo TTYs as
|
|
requested by the container manager (see <ulink
|
|
url="http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/systemd/ContainerInterface/"><filename>Container Interface</filename></ulink>). This
|
|
should ensure that the user is shown a login prompt at
|
|
the right place, regardless of which environment the
|
|
system is started in. For example, it is sufficient to
|
|
redirect the kernel console with a kernel command line
|
|
argument such as <varname>console=</varname> to get
|
|
both kernel messages and a getty prompt on a serial
|
|
TTY. See <ulink
|
|
url="https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/kernel-parameters.txt"><filename>kernel-parameters.txt</filename></ulink>
|
|
for more information on the
|
|
<varname>console=</varname> kernel parameter.</para>
