Open opens a new vt and runs a command on it. It can be used as a simple
way to start several console logins without having to type your passwd
on each VT in turn. open can be used as a simpler to use replacement for
the doshell(8) command.
open is similar in functionality to the AIX/RS6000 command of the same name.
To use open it must be installed setuid root (type make install; make
setuid) or all the VT device that are not allocated to getty should be
read/write by all, e.g.
chmod a=rw /dev/tty[5678]
Note, new in v1.1 -- is required to separate command/child options. See
the manual page.
