I am not sure if I am using the correct terminology but somehow my tty keeps changing on me. The man pages are confusing to me on what exactly the tty is. This is what I see when I run the tty command. Could anyone explain why my tty keeps changing?
~ $ tty
/dev/pts/1
~ $ tty
/dev/pts/0
I'm not sure what you are asking.
pty is pseudo terminal. They come in pairs - a master and a slave. I assume you are seeing one or the other of the pair.
Is that what you want to know?
My tty keeps on changing. I wanna know why that is happening and how to fix that.
What command are you using when you say "My tty keeps on changing" ?
You should have one tty per windows you open.
Do you mean when you type the tty command into the same windows several time it is continuously giving a changing result?
When I type tty into my terminal it is giving me different information. Each different terminal window is giving different information. This is what I see in my first 2 terminal window's.
~ $ tty
/dev/pts/1
~ $ tty
/dev/pts/0
This is normal cokedude, see man pts .
Yep ! It is totally normal to have a different tty for each opened windows
