systemd-getty-generator(8)


NAME

   systemd-getty-generator - Generator for enabling getty instances on the
   console

SYNOPSIS

   /lib/systemd/system-generators/systemd-getty-generator

DESCRIPTION

   systemd-getty-generator is a generator that automatically instantiates
   serial-getty@.service on the kernel console /dev/console if that is not
   directed to the virtual console subsystem. It will also instantiate
   serial-getty@.service instances for virtualizer consoles, if execution
   in a virtualized environment is detected. Finally, it will instantiate
   container-getty@.service instances for additional container pseudo TTYs
   as requested by the container manager (see Container Interface[1]).
   This should ensure that the user is shown a login prompt at the right
   place, regardless of which environment the system is started in. For
   example, it is sufficient to redirect the kernel console with a kernel
   command line argument such as console= to get both kernel messages and
   a getty prompt on a serial TTY. See kernel-parameters.txt[2] for more
   information on the console= kernel parameter.

   systemd-getty-generator implements systemd.generator(7).

   Further information about configuration of gettys you may find in
   systemd for Administrators, Part XVI: Gettys on Serial Consoles (and
   Elsewhere)[3].
