getty

[David Henderson]

Thanks for the reply Harald.  I tried doing that, but ran into 
problems.  First, I'm using runit instead of standard init which breaks 
things down into three stages (1=boot, 2=running system, 
3=shutdown|reboot).  I can successfully get to a prompt if I add "exec 
/bin/bash" as the final line in stage 1, however, stage 2 is never 
reached which is obviously where I need to be so that daemons and other 
startup scripts can be executed.  If I add that line into one of the 
scripts in stage 2, runit just keeps spawning an instance of the bash 
causing prompt after prompt to be generated.  The other problem I 
noticed, is that if I place the "exec getty -i ..." (as shown below) in 
stage 1, I also get a login prompt, but no stage 2.  Shouldn't I just be 
getting a shell prompt and not a login prompt since I'm passing those 
parameters to getty?
