Thanks. I know about the 1970's dummy terminal/ mainframe concept, and knew that PTS stood for pseudo terminal (and "s" I thought might be session). So its pseudo terminal slave....Now here is the strange part. I know that I have one true hardware terminal :0 (what ever it is called) and I had one terminal emulator open (Konsole) which would be pts/0 . I didn't have any other terminal emulator sessions open. Why the pts/1 then ?!?!
Konsole can handle multiple tabbed sessions within one window. It is possible that you have two sessions running in your konsole window. Look at it carefully since konsole will open that second session for you every time if have it open when konsole is closed.
