| openvt opens a new vt and runs a command on it. It can be used as a simple | |
| way to start several console logins without having to type your passwd | |
| on each VT in turn. | |
| openvt can be used as a simpler to use replacement for the doshell(8) command. | |
| openvt is similar in functionality to the AIX/RS6000 command open. | |
| To use openvt it must be installed setuid root (type make install; make | |
| setuid) or all the VT device that are not allocated to getty should be | |
| read/write by all, e.g. | |
| chmod a=rw /dev/tty[5678] | |
| Note, new in v1.1 -- is required to separate command/child options. See | |
| the manual page. | |
