unconventional tty name
Hello everybody
This morning I was reading on how to create more tty's and how to "#ALT Fx" to acces them
now this may be a stupid question but what if I do : "#mingetty tty91", it creates a tty91
But I cannot do "#ALT-F91" as F91 is veri inexistent
Still "#who -a" tells me i have an open tty91
Therefore can someone tell me how to acces this very particular tty91 ?

Not that I know anything about ttys, but I remember this command from a long time back:
chvt(1): change foreground virtual terminal - Linux man page
I believe this does what you want.DISTRO=Arch

Sorry for double posting
Anyways thank you for the reply , now i have a staring point , there are a max of 63 tty's in /dev/
I can connet to ttyX now
But they have no bash,
I will get to the end of it
This is just the beginig of a looooooooong journey inside the core of unix bash scripting

SOLVED



ls /dev/tty*
to see all the tty's available
openvt -s -c x -f
x= ttx
-s = i forgot
-c = ..... just man openvt man
edit:
that will not show in "who -a"
only mingetty will
