chvt - change foreground virtual terminal
chvt N
The
command chvt N makes /dev/ttyN the foreground terminal. (The corresponding
screen is created if it did not exist yet. To get rid of unused VTs, use
deallocvt(1)
.) The key combination (Ctrl-)LeftAlt-FN (with N in the range
1-12) usually has a similar effect.
