I would like to start different processes in different ttys on boot, automatically and with autologin first, and then have them run as normal programs, with the I/O intact, including quitting and get the shell - i.e., just as you would if you did it all manually. (The autologin part of the above question I solved.)
Up and until today, I've done this with zsh in .zprofile, and I include it here so you'll know exactly what I ask for: # ... local tty_number=${TTY#/dev/tty} case $tty_number in (1) lkeys # [1] make -C ~/.emacs.d/emacs-init emacs ;; (2|3) tmux-new-session-split ;; (5) echo "Waiting for Internet connection..." when-internet-set-time > /dev/null # ~/.zsh/web tmux ;; (6) start-x-if-not-running & ;; esac # ... I thought it'd be a good idea to do it with systemd! As a test, I tried to do it with top(1) in /dev/tty4, and I got this far [Unit] Description=top on tty4 [Service] Type=simple ExecStart=/usr/bin/top StandardInput=tty StandardOutput=tty TTYPath=/dev/tty4 Restart=always [Install] WantedBy=getty.target This results in a running process, but it doesn't seem to be associated with /dev/tty4 and there is no I/O there but the familiar shell. PS. I would say this is a ".user" question but I couldn't find such a group! -- underground experts united .... http://user.it.uu.se/~embe8573 Emacs Gnus Blogomatic ......... http://user.it.uu.se/~embe8573/blogomatic - so far: 30 Blogomatic articles - _______________________________________________ systemd-devel mailing list systemd-devel@lists.freedesktop.org https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/systemd-devel
