NAME
systemd-mute-console, systemd-mute-console@.service, systemd-mute-console.socket - Temporarily mute kernel log output
and service manager status output to the system console
SYNOPSIS
systemd-mute-console [OPTIONS...]
systemd-mute-console@.service
systemd-mute-console.socket
DESCRIPTION
The systemd-mute-console tool and service may be used to temporarily mute the log output of the kernel as well as the
status output of the service manager to the system console. It may be used by tools running on the console to ensure
their terminal output is not interrupted by unrelated messages.
The tool can be invoked directly in which case it will mute the two outputs and then issue an sd_notify(3) "READY=1"
notification once that is completed. On SIGINT or SIGTERM output is unmuted again. Alternatively it can be invoked
via Varlink IPC.
OPTIONS
The following options are understood:
--kernel=bool, --pid1=bool
Individually controls which output to mute. If true is specified the respective output is muted, if false the
output is left as is. Defaults to true.
Added in version 259.
-h, --help
Print a short help text and exit.
--version
Print a short version string and exit.
