Ly is a lightweight TUI (ncurses-like) display manager for Linux and BSD, designed with portability in mind (e.g. it does not require systemd to run).

# systemctl disable getty@tty2.service

On platforms that use systemd-logind to dynamically start `autovt@.service` instances when the switch to a new tty occurs, any ly instances for ttys *except the default tty* need to be enabled using a different mechanism: To autostart ly on switch to `tty2`, do not enable any `ly` unit directly, instead symlink `autovt@tty2.service` to `ly@tty2.service` within `/usr/lib/systemd/system/` (analogous for every other tty you want to enable ly on).

The target of the symlink, `ly@ttyN.service`, does not actually exist, but systemd nevertheless recognizes that the instanciation of `autovt@.service` with `%I` equal to `ttyN` now points to an instanciation of `ly@.service` with `%I` set to `ttyN`.
