Sounds like a problem with respawning. Unfortunately, I don't have
FC9 installed. However, this is what I tried using Ubuntu 8.04:
- loged in to tty1 then loged out
- loged in to tty2
- typed 'ps faux | grep -w tty[1-2]'
root 20801 0.0 0.0 6928 2604 tty2 Ss 11:24 0:00
/bin/login --
rwcitek 20832 0.0 0.0 5036 2404 tty2 S+ 11:24 0:00 \_ -bash
root 20822 0.0 0.0 1716 508 tty1 Ss+ 11:24 0:00
/sbin/getty 38400 tty1
- typed 'grep -w tty[1-2] /var/log/syslog | tail'
Jul 26 11:16:47 Ubuntu804 init: tty1 main process ended, respawning
Jul 26 11:17:14 Ubuntu804 init: tty2 main process ended, respawning
Jul 26 11:18:16 Ubuntu804 init: tty2 main process ended, respawning
Jul 26 11:18:17 Ubuntu804 init: tty2 main process ended, respawning
Jul 26 11:20:05 Ubuntu804 init: tty1 main process ended, respawning
Jul 26 11:24:30 Ubuntu804 init: tty2 main process ended, respawning
Jul 26 11:24:39 Ubuntu804 init: tty1 main process ended, respawning
There may be a similar method in FC9. I would suspect that if tty1 is
not respawning it would show up in the process table and in the logs.
