To accomplish what you want I would change /etc/inittab with a
late_command, *but* the commands above are not really safe:
1. you rely on the specific format of /etc/inittab
2. your script is not indempotent, just think what happens if you run it
several times
3. sed can do the change in one go ;)
This should work (all in one line):
sed -i -e 's,1:2345:respawn:\/sbin\/getty 38400 tty1,1:2345:respawn:\/bin/login
-f user tty1 <\/dev\/tty1 >\/dev\/tty1 2>&>1,' /etc/inittab
Kind regards,
Andrei
