- <title>Description</title>
-
- <para><filename>systemd-getty-generator</filename> is a generator
- that automatically instantiates
- <filename>serial-getty@.service</filename> on the kernel console
- <filename>/dev/console</filename> if that is not directed to the
- virtual console subsystem. It will also instantiate
- <filename>serial-getty@.service</filename> instances for
- virtualizer consoles, if execution in a virtualized environment is
- detected. Finally, it will instantiate
- <filename>container-getty@.service</filename> instances for
- additional container pseudo TTYs as requested by the container
- manager (see <ulink
- url="http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/systemd/ContainerInterface/"><filename>Container
- Interface</filename></ulink>). 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 <varname>console=</varname> to get both
- kernel messages and a getty prompt on a serial TTY. See <ulink
- url="https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/kernel-parameters.txt"><filename>kernel-parameters.txt</filename></ulink>
- for more information on the <varname>console=</varname> kernel
- parameter.</para>
