NAME
sleeping-getty - Do not start a fullblow getty before it is necessary
SYNOPSIS
sleeping-getty VTNO GETTY_COMMAND...
DESCRIPTION
sleeping-getty shall wait until VTNO (an number of a virtual terminal)
becomes the foreground console. Then, it shall execv(3) to GETTY_COMMAND,
with GETTY_COMMAND and all following arguments as the command line
arguments.
Note that this program ways on VT:s, not TTY:s. It cannot wait for a
serial console to become, active, only virtual terminals.
EXAMPLE
/sbin/sleeping-getty 15 /sbin/got tty15 TERM=linux
/sbin/sleeping-getty 16 /sbin/got tty16 TERM=linux
/sbin/sleeping-getty 20 /sbin/agetty -8 -s 38400 tty20 linux
RATIONALE
It is nice to have a score or two of TTY:s available. However,
starting them, can require some unnecessary CPU time and will
was memory until they are actually used. This becomes extra
important on resource contained machines.
