works for me on valid console #s that aren't in use (unless you use --force) on current release |
From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 Galeon/1.2.0 (X11; Linux i686; U;) Gecko/20020408 Description of problem: Calling openvt e.g. like this: openvt -c 10 -s /bin/bash doesn't start new shell on the specified console - it just switches to it. Same with the openvt from rh73. NB that 'open' from console-tools shipped with RH60 works just fine - and I'm using it as a substitution for 'openvt' in RH73. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Run 'openvt -c 8 -s /bin/sh' as root Actual Results: console#8 becomes current,- but nothing gets started there. Expected Results: console8 becomes current and shell starts there. Additional info: I use open/openvt to open log viewers and performance display tools on consoles from 9 to 12.
