-.TH SLEEPING-GETTY 8 SLEEPING-GETTY
-.SH NAME
-sleeping\-getty \- Do not start a fullblown getty before it is necessary
-.SH SYNOPSIS
-.B sleeping\-getty
-.I VTNO
-.IR GETTY_COMMAND ...
-.SH DESCRIPTION
-.B sleeping\-getty
-shall wait until
-.I VTNO
-(a number of a virtual terminal) becomes the foreground console.
-Then, it shall
-.BR execvp (3)
-to
-.IR GETTY_COMMAND ,
-with
-.I GETTY_COMMAND
-and all following arguments as the command line arguments.
-.PP
-Note that
-.B sleeping-getty
-works on VT:s, not TTY:s. It cannot wait for a serial console to
-become, active, only virtual terminals.
-.SH EXAMPLE
-.nf
-/sbin/\fBsleeping\-getty\fP \fI15\fP /sbin/got tty\fI15\fP TERM=linux
-/sbin/\fBsleeping\-getty\fP \fI16\fP /sbin/got tty\fI16\fP TERM=linux
-/sbin/\fBsleeping\-getty\fP \fI20\fP /sbin/agetty -8 -s 38400 tty\fI20\fP linux
-.fi
-.SH NOTES
-.B sleeping\-getty
-does not acquire the TTY. That would be a waste of CPU cycles.
-This means, if naïvely used, that if you start your computer,
-log in on
-.BR tty1 ,
-and start
-.BR X ,
-and have
-.B startx
-configured to start
-.B X
-on the next available VT.
-.B X
-will start on VT\ 2. This is probably not want you want.
-Instead you should edit
-.B startx
-to ensure that a VT lower than a preferred number
-(customarily 7) will not be used.
-.SH 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.
