SYSTEMD-GETTY-GENERATOR(8) systemd-getty-generatorSYSTEMD-GETTY-GENERATOR(8)
systemd-getty-generator - Generator for enabling getty instances on
the console
/usr/lib/systemd/system-generators/systemd-getty-generator
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].
