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

--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.
