MKCON(8)                        Domain/OS BSD                         MKCON(8)




NAME
     mkcon - set console device

SYNOPSIS
     /etc/mkcon  [-p] [-d dev] [-c cmd] [-n]

DESCRIPTION
     If no arguments are specified with this command, it makes the current
     controlling terminal into a console and starts up a shell. The shell type
     is determined by the shell environment variable. When the shell exits,
     the console output is redirected to 'node_data/system_logs/console.

OPTIONS
     -p        Create a new DM pad for the console in place of the controlling
               terminal device.

     -d dev    Make dev replace the controlling terminal device as console.

     -c cmd    Execute cmd instead of $SHELL.

     -n        Do not run a shell.

EXAMPLE
     $/etc/mkcon -d /dev/display -n


     This causes console output to appear in a DM window, with a new window
     each time /dev/console is opened.
