Manual:Console login process
12
Use up arrow to recall previous commands from command history, TAB key to automatically complete words in the
command you are typing, ENTER key to execute command, and Control-C to interrupt currently running command
and return to prompt.
Easiest way to log out of console is to press Control-D at the command prompt while command line is empty (You
can cancel current command and get an empty line with Control-C, so Control-C followed by Control-D will log you
out in most cases).
Console login options
Starting from v3.14 it is possible to specify console options during login process. These options enables or disables
various console features like color, terminal detection and many other.
Additional login parameters can be appended to login name after '+' sign.
login_name ::= user_name [ '+' parameters ]
parameters ::= parameter [ parameters ]
parameter ::= [ number ] 'a'..'z'
number ::= '0'..'9' [ number ]
If parameter is not present, then default value is used. If number is not present then implicit value of parameter is
used.
example: admin+c80w - will disable console colors and set terminal width to 80.
Param Default Implicit Description
"w" auto auto Set terminal width
"h" auto auto Set terminal height
"c" on off disable/enable console colors
"t" on off Do auto detection of terminal capabilities
"e" on off Enables "dumb" terminal mode
