what do you get with this command:<br>
$ ps -ef|grep getty<br>
<br>
<h2> <span>
How do I change the number of gettys running by default? </span></h2>
<p>To add another getty:
</p>
<p>Simply place another symlink for instantiating another getty in
the getty.target.wants/ directory:
</p>
<pre>ln -sf /lib/systemd/system/getty@.service /etc/systemd/system/getty.target.wants/getty@tty9.service
systemctl daemon-reload
