Subject:   Programicly changing virtual terminals?
Message-ID:  <20020218143718.GA15264@teddy.fas.com>

In linux there is a command (chvt if memory serves corectly) which changes
which virtual terminal is display on the console screen.

How can I do this in FreeBSD?

Before you ask, the application is an free standing machine that boots up,
starts processes from the /usr/local/etc/rc.d system, that use various
consoles for loging the statuses of these processes. Whenn remotely booted,
I want the corect status screen to wind up being displayed, no the login
screen on the first tty.
