systemd-mute-console [Options...]

systemd-mute-console@​.service

systemd-mute-console​.socket

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​.

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
