Re: [PLUG] mingetty question
|
I believe those are the six virtual consoles. They respawn to wait for
new connections. They always exist. I'm sure someone will come along
to explain why they are persistant.
As you noted, remote logins close completely. Xterms also close completely.
My advice would be to not worry about it as far as there being a
problem, but it never hurts to learn more about what's going on in the
shadows.

/sbin/mingetty tty6
why do these processes persist days after the logons are closed? only
on-site logins are behaving like this. remote logins are cleanly closed.
advice?
