I don't know what's obvious. I also don't know what is meant
in the above by "terminal". Is it a linux VC (pre-X/DE),
a VC summoned from X, a POX (plain old xterm) or some DE-moderated
terminal that I've never used? It would also be nice to know
what the command was that was typed. (I'm also assuming that
systemd was likely installed, and we're talking stretch.)
Sorry about all the alsos, but there are a lot of variables at
play here.
Cheers,
David.
