Thanks :)
Learning is so much easier with just a little explanation sometimes and i thank you guys... Though man pages are nice for a lot of sys admins the explanations are quite lacking and I feel mostly written for gurus already.. I think if linux is to become more popular one day people will realize that not just engineering types are going to use it. also the barrier of entry is pretty high. Not everyone cares to dive in with linux and be cool with breaking things until they learn it.. some of us don't learn til we're 30 or later.. You're going to have business people (such as myself).

for example, one server i use is so riddled with problems - like yum doesn't work, there's dns problems, rpm doesn't work, etc.. the more familiar i get, the more problems i see.. Smilie it's a big headache.. google search to these forums are a far bigger help than man pages.

Thanks again.

openvt

OPENVT(1)							     Linux 1.x								 OPENVT(1)

NAME

       openvt - start a program on a new virtual terminal (VT).

SYNOPSIS

       openvt [-c vtnumber] [-s] [-u] [-l] [-v] [--] command command_options

DESCRIPTION

       openvt  will  find the first available VT, and run on it the given command with the given command options, standard input, output and error
       are directed to that terminal. The current search path ($PATH) is used to find the requested command. If no command is specified  then  the
       environment variable $SHELL is used.

   OPTIONS
       -c vtnumber
	      Use the given VT number and not the first available. Note you must have write access to the supplied VT for this to work.

       -e     Directly execute the given command, without forking.  This option is meant for use in /etc/inittab.

       -s     Switch to the new VT when starting the command. The VT of the new command will be made the new current VT.

       -u     Figure out the owner of the current VT, and run login as that user.  Suitable to be called by init. Shouldn't be used with -c or -l.

       -l     Make the command a login shell. A - is prepended to the name of the command to be executed.

       -v     Be a bit more verbose.

       -w     wait  for command to complete. If -w and -s are used together then openvt will switch back to the controlling terminal when the com-
	      mand completes.

       --     end of options to openvt.

NOTE

       If openvt is compiled with a POSIX (GNU) getopt() and you wish to set options to the command to be run, then you must  supply  the  end	of
       options -- flag before the command.

EXAMPLES

       openvt can be used to start a shell on the next free VT, by using the command:

       openvt bash

       To start the shell as a login shell, use:

       openvt -l bash

       To get a long listing you must supply the -- separator:

       openvt -- ls -l

HISTORY

       Earlier, openvt was called open.  It was written by Jon Tombs <jon@gtex02.us.es or jon@robots.ox.ac.uk>.  The -w idea is from "sam".
