SystemD's debug-shell
service is intended to
diagnose SystemD related boot issues with various systemctl
commands. Once enabled and following a system reboot, the root shell
will be available on tty9
which is access by pressing
CTRL-ALT-F9
. The debug-shell
service should only be used
for SystemD related issues and should otherwise be disabled.
By default, the debug-shell
SystemD service is already disabled.
The debug-shell
service can be disabled with the following command:
$ sudo systemctl mask --now debug-shell.service
