setconsole(8) |

setconsole − sets the systems console to local video or serial console
setconsole <video|serial|ttya|ttyb|cua0|cua1|ttyS0|ttyS1>
setconsole sets up /etc/inittab, /dev/systty, and /dev/console for a new console. The console may be either the local terminal (directly attached to the system via a video card) or a serial console.
|
video |
Use the local video card for the console. | ||
|
serial |
Use the PROMs console (determined via /proc/openprom) as the system console. |
ttya cua0 ttyS0
Use the first serial device. The speed is set to the default seed for ttya as set in the PROM.
ttyb cua1 ttyS1
Use the first serial device. The speed is set to the default seed for ttya as set in the PROM.
|
/dev/openprom |
System interface to boot PROM. |
/dev/systty /dev/console Point to the device used for the system console.
|
/etc/inittab |
Controls where gettys are run on the system. | ||
|
/etc/securetty |
If this file exists and a serial terminal is being made the console, the name of the serial terminal is appended to this file (if necessary) to allow root logins on the new console. |
init(8), inittab(5), getty(8)
There are probably many -- this is some pretty ugly /bin/sh code. Switching from one serial console to another will probably result in Switching from video to serial and back a corrupt /etc/inittab. While /etc/securetty is correctly updated when switching to a serial console, the serial device entry is not removed when switching back to a physical terminal (in case the user hand edited the file) and the virtual terminal devices are not added into the file. again should work fine however. Patches are very welcome (as is a complete rewrite).
