# Setting up the agetty service in OpenRC
|
||
|
|
||
|
The agetty service is an OpenRC specific way to monitor and respawn a
|
||
|
getty, using agetty, on Linux. To use this method, make sure you aren't
|
||
|
spawning a getty manager for this port some other way (such as through
|
||
|
sysvinit/inittab), then run the following commands as root.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Note that [port] refers to the port you are spawning the getty on, and
|
||
|
not the full path to it. For example, tty0 or ttyS0instead of /dev/tty0
|
||
|
or /dev/ttyS0.
|
||
|
tty0 or ttyS0, not the full path to it (for example, tty0 or ttyS0 and
|
||
|
|
||
|
```
|
||
|
# cd /etc/init.d
|
||
|
# ln -s agetty agetty.[port]
|
||
|
# cd /etc/conf.d
|
||
|
# cp agetty agetty.[port]
|
||
|
#rc-update add agetty.[port] [runlevel]
|
||
|
```
