OK what anybody used to do in /etc/rc.local can all be now often also be done instead via making a non-symlinked /etc/systemd/system/getty.target.wants/getty@tty1.service and changing
# ExecStart=-/sbin/agetty --noclear %I ExecStart=-/sbin/agetty --noclear --autologin root %I # Restart=always Restart=no And then at top of root's .bash_profile put r=my.rc.local t=/tmp/.ran.$r if ! test -f $t then sh $r && touch $t && kill -1 $PPID fi Then one doesn't need to learn any new protocols! My only regret is this leaves a dead tty1. I would like instead to leave what looks like a login: prompt there on tty1, just like one sees now on tty2 etc. That is I need a way to write something like ExecStartFirstTime =-/sbin/agetty --noclear --autologin root %I ExecStartAllRestTimes=-/sbin/agetty --noclear %I Restart=always It is not clear on man systemd.service how to do that! -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
