Hello, According to ttys(5) and init(8), init will restart a process if it is found in ttys.
Accordingly, I've added these two lines to my ttys file: ttyv0 "/bin/stp-server" unknown on ttyv1 "/manager/listener 4553" unknown on The first line appears to result in what I'm looking for, ie the stp-server runs, and if I kill it, the init process restarts it. The second line, however, gives me this message: Aug 25 14:33:38 FFProRDP init: getty repeating too quickly on \ port /dev/ttyv1, sleeping 30 secs What I'm looking for is an idea how to debug why the listener app is choking. /var/log/messages just repeats the 'init: getty' line.
