6 I tried your line on my system, and rebooted, and didn't see any problem.

8 I have:

10 /etc/systemd/system/getty\@.service.d/numlock.conf:
11 [Service]
12 #ExecStartPost=-/bin/sh -c '/usr/bin/setleds -D -num </dev/%I'
13 ExecStartPost=/bin/bash -c "/usr/bin/setleds -D -num </dev/%I"
14

16 After reboot I logged in using tty1, here's the output of
17
18 systemctl status -l getty@××××.service:
