Since you intend to use a command in a script, you probably want to use something that doesn't need root privileges to be ran as 'chvt' or 'openvt' .



That's why you may prefer xdotool Install xdotool. After you have installed, you can use the following command to simulate this shortcut input Ctrl+Alt+F1:



xdotool key Ctrl+Alt+F1
