-sh: can't access tty; job control turned off - busybox v1.6.0

[Tallam, Sreenivas]

Thank for your insight Roberto.  
I guess CNTRL-C will be a issue for me. I need to have that working.

And unfortunately, I am trying a montavista 4.0.1 (linux 2.6.10)
distribution with an busybox 1.6.0.
The distribution gives me a precompiled busybox without any source code
But they provide me an option of selecting the utilities that I need
from busybox through a GUI.

But I don't see setconsole as a part of the utilities nor does the nor
does the linux has it

# setconsole
-sh: setconsole: not found
# which setconsole
# 

Although the other two commands that you suggested did work.

Apart from that, I did try out one other thing,
I tried to include the ttyss1 into /etc/inittab

# cat /etc/inittab

# Default entries for busybox init.
::ctrlaltdel:/sbin/reboot
::shutdown:/bin/umount -a -r
::shutdown:/sbin/swapoff -a
::restart:/sbin/init
::askfirst:-/bin/sh
::sysinit:/etc/init.d/rcS
 
# Start watcher if it dies.
::respawn:/usr/local/bin/watcher
ttyss1:2345:respawn:/sbin/agetty /dev/ttyS1 9600 vt100

Would this help?

But, when I check for my current console, I see this
# tty
/dev/console

Thanks,
Sreen

The side effect you cannot use CTRL-C but it works for me if I do:

setconsole -r
stty sane -F /dev/console
stty icanon echo isig intr ^C -F /dev/console
