Here;s mine, and I *am* running Devuan jessie: hendrik@notlookedfor:~$ ps ax | grep getty 1951 tty1 Ss+ 0:00 /sbin/getty 38400 tty1 1952 tty2 Ss+ 0:00 /sbin/getty 38400 tty2 1953 tty3 Ss+ 0:00 /sbin/getty 38400 tty3 1954 tty4 Ss+ 0:00 /sbin/getty 38400 tty4 1955 tty5 Ss+ 0:00 /sbin/getty 38400 tty5 1956 tty6 Ss+ 0:00 /sbin/getty 38400 tty6 30356 pts/1 S+ 0:00 grep getty hendrik@notlookedfor:~$ done from a Roxterm in xcfe. -- hendrik > Notice I'm running "agetty", not "getty", which is respawned in your > inittab.
