- I have an Intergraph 6000 running unix, with three rs-323 ports.
- tty00 is attached to a terminal. I'ld like to setup one of them
- as the console window. Can I do this using the inittab file in /etc?
- Do I have to redirect /dev/console into /dev/tty00 and visa-versa?
- Tried:
-
- co:234:respawn:/etc/getty tty00 console
- t0:234:respawn:/etc/getty tty00 9600 none
-
- This didn't work.
-
- I used to have an entry something like:
- cl:234:respawn:/etc/clink 2>&1
- but I don't know what /etc/clink did to link /dev/console into /dev/tty00...
