It works as root. But I need a bit more than chvt, and I know I've seen a program/script that does it about a year or more ago. The "more" that I need is the ability to do this as a user, run a specified program, and switch back to X when the program is done. I was hoping it would be a debian package, but can make do if it isn't.
