Hi Rajesh,
replace the 'respawn' option in your inittab with 'once' for mgetty.
This will start mgetty for the 1st time the run level is entered, but will
not re-spawn it everytime it is killed. There is also an option for
binding a process to some key sequence "kbr--something" dont remeber it
exactly.
This option would be even better, so that whenever the key sequence is
intercepted it would start mgetty ( something like <ctrl><alt><del> )
