Please use in that order." >-Ed Howdershelt (Author) >Genes Web page <http://geneslinuxbox.net:6309/gene> You have a definite style Gene, and a tenaciousness that I really admire. I'm assuming after all this time you are doing some work and have a functioning system going, congratulations. For future reference, you can prevent any systemd service from starting by putting a link to /dev/null in /etc/systemd/system AFAIK that is exactly what 'systemctl mask' does, but the benefit from using systemctl is it also checks your spelling. I don't think all the 6 getty@ services are started at boot like with inittab, the particualt getty appears after the VT is activated. You can mask one or override it as you want with systemctl edit getty@ttyWHATEVER and this is pretty cool. You could setup things to do whatever when any particular VT is activated. good luck bw
