Description amano.kenji 2022-08-03 22:18:57 UTC

Without sysv-utils USE flag, reboot and poweroff display OpenRC messages on the current tty.

With sysv-utils USE flag, reboot and poweroff display OpenRC messages on tty1, but they don't send me to tty1. Thus, I have to write a script to move to tty1 before executing reboot or poweroff.

reboot and poweroff should send me to tty1 or print OpenRC messages on the current tty which is usually tty7.

Reproducible: Always

If there is no current tty, OpenRC messages should be printed on /dev/console during reboot or shutdown.

For headless devices like Raspberry Pi, I set /dev/console to a serial console where I want to see OpenRC messages.
