Re: Serial Terminal - Can't get getty to run via inittab

[Chris DiTrani <cditrani@livedata.com>]

So, two strange things that are probably clues:

1. I can change my inittab line to reference some non-existent
executable (foo) instead of agetty, and init doesn't make any complaint
to syslog after a 'init q'. It does log that it's reloading inittab, but
nothing else. If I mess with the inittab syntax or command set (e.g.
replacing 'respawn' with 'espawn', it also complains to syslog, but
nothing logs for telling it to run a bogus program.

2. I've got no mingetty processes running on this machine either. I
should have an instance for each of my virtual terminals. Maybe this is
because there's not keyboard/mouse/monitor plugged in?
