Automagically loging in on all 11 of my tty's leaving tty12 for an X session

This is a two step process so be careful you have both processes complete before restarting init

Step 1. Modifying /etc/inittab

I have commented out all the lines similar too :

and replaced them with :

#
# Start of Automagic logins
#
1:2345:respawn:/sbin/getty -n -l /usr/bin/myloginscript 38400 tty1
2:2345:respawn:/sbin/getty -n -l /usr/bin/myloginscript 38400 tty2
3:2345:respawn:/sbin/getty -n -l /usr/bin/myloginscript 38400 tty3
4:2345:respawn:/sbin/getty -n -l /usr/bin/myloginscript 38400 tty4
5:2345:respawn:/sbin/getty -n -l /usr/bin/myloginscript 38400 tty5
6:2345:respawn:/sbin/getty -n -l /usr/bin/myloginscript 38400 tty6
7:2345:respawn:/sbin/getty -n -l /usr/bin/myloginscript 38400 tty7
8:2345:respawn:/sbin/getty -n -l /usr/bin/myloginscript 38400 tty8
9:2345:respawn:/sbin/getty -n -l /usr/bin/myloginscript 38400 tty9
10:2345:respawn:/sbin/getty -n -l /usr/bin/myloginscript 38400 tty10
11:2345:respawn:/sbin/getty -n -l /usr/bin/myloginscript 38400 tty11
#
# End of Automagic logins
#

I did dabble with rungetty & other processes which only required modifying this file but found them too limiting>

Step 2.

Create loginscript with your favourite editor to include :

#! /bin/sh
/bin/login -f {desired username here}

taking special note too use an existimng username and the same path/filename as that used in /etc/inittab for the loginscript

and too chmod +x /usr/bin/myloginscript after creating it

and voila you now have tty's 1-11 automagically logging in with {desired username here}

of course with term matching you could run different users on different tty's but I had no need for such and ran screen instead on them
