This is the result of "openvt -l bash":

Couldnt get a file descriptor referring to the console
Could not get a file descriptor referring to the console

If I run /sbin/mingetty with a new console tty (say, ttys/2), the
virtual console xterm does come up, but then mingetty terminates, and no
login process is run for the new console. Could someone tell me what am
I doing wrong?

Thanks!

What is wrong with openvt?

That works fine. You could also to telinit -q which has the same effect
as kill -1 1.

I was looking for a programmatic way of doing it, like when someone
sends a command to UML from the outside to open a new virtual console. I
guess if there is no other way, this will have to do.

Do you know why mingetty is unhappy when run from the command line? If
there is some additional stuff I have to do programmatically, I can do
it from a script or a little program.

Thanks,
Michael

Have you tried putting an entry in inittab and kill -1 1?  I've tried
running
getty from the command like in the past, and IIRC it wasn't happy about
that.

Is there a programmatic way to create a virtual console on the fly, that
is, without changing /etc/inittab and doing something like "telinit q"? 
 
Thanks in advance,
Michael
