vtwait --
prevent console switching to X
Synopsis
vtwait [seconds]
Description
The vtwait command is used to allow typing on the console
after a system startup, without it switching to X. If the
seconds parameter is specified, the VTWAITTIME
tunable is set to that value. Any keystroke within that time before
the X server is started will prevent the console from switching
to the X session.
Invoked without options, vtwait returns a message like the
following:
VTWAITTIME = 60 seconds
That is, any keystroke within one minute of the X session starting
will prevent the X session from taking control of the console.
Setting VTWAITTIME to zero disables the
feature. The permissible range, in seconds, is 1-600 (10 minutes).
