mingetty

MINGETTY(8)						     Linux Programmer's Manual						       MINGETTY(8)

NAME

       mingetty - minimal getty for consoles

SYNOPSIS

       mingetty   [--noclear]	[--nonewline]  [--noissue]  [--nohangup]  [--nohostname]  [--long-hostname]  [--loginprog=/bin/login]  [--nice=10]
       [--delay=5] [--chdir=/home] [--chroot=/chroot] [--autologin username] [--loginpause] tty

DESCRIPTION

       mingetty is a minimal getty for use on virtual consoles.  Unlike agetty(8), mingetty is not suitable for serial lines.  I  recommend  using
       mgetty(8) for this purpose.

OPTIONS

       --noclear
	      Do not clear the screen before prompting for the login name (the screen is normally cleared).

       --nonewline
	      Do not print a newline before writing out /etc/issue.

       --noissue
	      Do not output /etc/issue.

       --nohangup
	      Do not call vhangup() to disable writing to this tty by other applications.

       --nohostname
	      Do not print the hostname before the login prompt.

       --long-hostname
	      By default the hostname is only printed until the first dot.  With this option enabled, the full text from gethostname() is shown.

       --loginprog /bin/login
	      Change the login app.

       --nice 10
	      Change the priority by calling nice().

       --delay 5
	      Sleep this many seconds after startup of mingetty.

       --chdir /home
	      Change into this directory before calling the login prog.

       --chroot /chroot
	      Call chroot() with this directory name.

       --autologin username
	      Log the specified user automatically in without asking for a login name and password. Check the -f option from /bin/login for this.

       --loginpause
	      Wait for any key before dropping to the login prompt.  Can be combined with --autologin to save memory by lazily spawning shells.

ISSUE ESCAPES

       mingetty recognizes the following escapes sequences which might be embedded in the /etc/issue file:

       d     insert current day (localtime),

       l     insert line on which mingetty is running,

       m     inserts machine architecture (uname -m),

       
     inserts machine's network node hostname (uname -n),

       o     inserts domain name,

       
     inserts operating system release (uname -r),

       	     insert current time (localtime),

       s     inserts operating system name,

       u     resp. U the current number of users which are currently logged in.  U inserts "n users", where as u only inserts "n".

       v     inserts operating system version (uname -v).

EXAMPLE

       "Linux eos i386 #1 Tue Mar 19 21:54:09 MET 1996" was produced by putting "s 
 m v" into /etc/issue.

FILES

       /etc/issue, /var/run/utmp.
