I do, about every time I reboot a machine in single mode. It gives you more than one console. If you fail to open a secondary console when you begin, you won't have it when you need it and by then you might be in the middle of a big dd or rsync. But then, the canonical name for that command is "openvt" and not much would break if the "open" symlink was removed. -- // If you believe in so-called "intellectual property", please immediately // cease using counterfeit alphabets.
