Can I autologin a specific user on a specific VT, but still have other login shells running?
- by Michael
I'm running a linux system with Ubuntu Karmic on it, and I use it to run a webcam and a program that continuously outputs on the console.
Is there any way I can force a user to login on VT2, and then switch VTs to VT2, but still have other login consoles running so I can hook a keyboard up to it and CTRL-ALT-F# to get to another terminal?
I have a feeling this needs to go in my rc.local file, but nothing in the login manpage seems to suggest it can do what I want it to do.
If there is no way to login a user on the vt, launching the program directly on a specific VT will work as well, since the user's shell in /etc/passwd is set to the program anyway.
