The attached standalone utility shall be able to automatically
do it for specified program. Usage:

-::sysinit:/etc/init.d/rcS [args]
+::sysinit:/path/to/cttyhack /etc/init.d/rcS [args]

It is not meant to be a permanent solution, I just want to check
whether the problem is caused by lack of ctty for sysinit actions.

If it is true, then "real" fix is to determine why your sysinit
actions require ctty. They should not need it, I think.

cttyhack may be useful and even may be added to bbox,
but it is still an ugly non-portable hack.
