| 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. |
