| Subject | kbrequest as in older /etc/inittab |
| Message-ID | <HRj29-hzot-1@gated-at.bofh.it> |
Prior to the introduction of systemd /etc/inittab had this line in it: kb::kbrequest:/bin/echo "Keyboard Request--edit /etc/inittab to let this work." and I found it useful to tie a call to openvt to Alt Up which went well with ALT Right or Left arrow to move between VTs. . Has anyone knowledge of how to do this under systemd? Thanks, Mike -- ... what I was born does not matter, only what I will make of myself, only what I will become.

Looks like there's a special target, kbrequest.target, which is started by alt-up. Some more systemd knowledge than I currently have is needed to tie openvt into that.

Do you have more details about it?

Is the history of this issue relevant? https://forums.raspberrypi.com/viewtopic.php?t=282768 Cheers, David.

Huh. So, Mike, whatever you figured out in 2020, you entirely forgot, and now you're starting over in a new forum? What are you actually trying to do? If all you want are a bunch of additional text consoles, you can simply increase the number of gettys by editing the /etc/systemd/logind.conf file: ... # See logind.conf(5) for details. [Login] #NAutoVTs=6 ... By default, there are 6 gettys available (tty1 through tty6), but you can increase the number here. Or decrease it, in theory, but I can't imagine too many uses for that.
