Linux /etc/inittab Samples for Getty Linux /etc/inittab Samples for Getty Linux Getty Examples
Different distributions have a variety of names for getty. It may be
necessary to experiment or consult the system documentation to determine
which getty is most appropriate for your application.
- Common Red Hat /etc/inittab examples:
d000:2345:respawn:/sbin/getty ttyD000 DT9600 vt100
This getty uses an /etc/gettydefs file -- the DT9600 is a label from
that file. Please see the /etc/gettydefs for additional options.
- This is an agetty example for a hard-wired terminal:
D000:2345:respawn:/sbin/agetty 9600 ttyD000
- This is an example of an mgetty entry (recommended for modems):
G0:345:respawn:/sbin/mgetty -x5 -s 57600 ttyG0_00
NOTE: Do not use mingetty for terminals, it is only designed for the
system console.
Common Debian examples:
- Example how to put a getty on a serial line (for a terminal):
