Hi All,
Why does this work:
#/usr/sbin/faxgetty -D ttyS1
but, placing this in my /etc/inittab does not?
m0:2345:respawn:/usr/sbin/faxgetty ttyS1
I have run "init q" several times to no avail.
Can anyone see a typo I am missing?
# ps ax | grep -i faxget | grep -v grep
<nothing>
After invoking from the command line, I get
# ps ax | grep -i faxget | grep -v grep
9827 ? Ss 0:00 /usr/sbin/faxgetty -D ttyS1
What am I missing?
Many thanks,
-T

Thank you. I missed that. Now to figure out how to use /etc/init.

Figured it out.
Scientific Linux/RHEL 6.x
Create a file
touch /etc/init/faxgetty.conf
For ttyS1, fill it with
start on runlevel [2345]
stop on runlevel [S016]
respawn
exec /usr/sbin/faxgetty ttyS1
Then do:
initctl start faxgetty
