CentOS 6: /etc/init/start-ttys.conf ignored
 

hi

why are tty3-tty6 started after this config change?

i would like to have only tty1 finally becasue on a virtual machine
there is no need for the other processes since CTRL+ALT+Fx is caught
by the own system and remote console mostly not needed at all

[root@centos ~]# cat /etc/init/start-ttys.conf
#
# This service starts the configured number of gettys.

start on stopped rc RUNLEVEL=[2345]

env ACTIVE_CONSOLES=/dev/tty[1-2]
env X_TTY=/dev/tty1
task
script
. /etc/sysconfig/init
for tty in $(echo $ACTIVE_CONSOLES) ; do
[ "$RUNLEVEL" = "5" -a "$tty" = "$X_TTY" ] && continue
initctl start tty TTY=$tty
done
end script

[root@centos ~]# ps aux | grep tty
root 1626 0.0 0.0 4044 540 tty1 Ss+ 01:12 0:00 /sbin/mingetty /dev/tty1
root 1628 0.0 0.0 4044 544 tty2 Ss+ 01:12 0:00 /sbin/mingetty /dev/tty2
root 1630 0.0 0.0 4044 544 tty3 Ss+ 01:12 0:00 /sbin/mingetty /dev/tty3
root 1632 0.0 0.0 4044 540 tty4 Ss+ 01:12 0:00 /sbin/mingetty /dev/tty4
root 1634 0.0 0.0 4044 544 tty5 Ss+ 01:12 0:00 /sbin/mingetty /dev/tty5
root 1636 0.0 0.0 4044 540 tty6 Ss+ 01:12 0:00 /sbin/mingetty /dev/tty6

The script is sourcing in /etc/sysconfig/init which has ACTIVE_CONSOLES
defined; when the file is sourced it overwrites the values you set in
/etc/init/start-ttys.conf.
