[solved]Who resets console at boot?

mangus · 2011-10-30 15:07:28

I usually boot at init lvl 3 and I found recently that the console is reset right after the boot and init messages. I remember some times ago the reset was performed by a string in /etc/issue file , but it's seems to me that's not the case anymore but console is still cleared.
Can someone point me to the relative issued command?
Thanks

I was gonna tell you to search, but surprisingly the search doesn't find anything, even though I could swear this has been discussed before.

Anyway, it's agetty that does the clearing. So open /etc/inittab and add "--noclear" to the agetty commands.

I've searched the forum before posting too... but not the wiki (amazing as always) ,next time I'll do a search there too..
Thanks both of you

Your question did not come in vain, as I was just trying to find this one out, but decided to have a look at what's new on the forums.
