# systemctl disable getty@tty2.service
```
You can change the TTY Ly will run on by editing the corresponding
service file for your platform, or on systemd, by enabling the service on
different TTYs, as is done above.
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`.
Compare to `man 5 logind.conf`, especially regarding the `NAutoVTs=` and `ReserveVT=` parameters.
On non-systemd systems, you can change the TTY Ly will run on by editing the corresponding
service file for your platform.
