Try adding the line 

8:2345:respawn:/usr/local/bin/mprime

to /etc/inittab.

What I do is pipe the output of mprime to a tcl script which keeps the last 25
lines in a file. But then I can't type into it. Another way would be to use the
screen program; you can run it on a screen, and attach a tty to the screen when
you want to.
