Opening the device will make - that device a controlling tty. This may require cttyhack - to be a session leader. - - Example for /etc/inittab (for busybox init): - - ::respawn:/bin/cttyhack /bin/sh - - Starting an interactive shell from boot shell script: - - setsid cttyhack sh - - Giving controlling tty to shell running with PID 1: - - # exec cttyhack sh - - Without cttyhack, you need to know exact tty name, - and do something like this: - - # exec setsid sh -c 'exec sh /dev/tty1 2>&1' - endmenu -- cgit v1.2.3
