I believe your getty program has to open the tty that init passed it.
I suspect stdin is redirected to /dev/null by init for your program so the
read exits.
I just tried this and it works fine..
#!/bin/sh
logger "Got these args $*"
while [ $# -gt 1 ]; do
if [ -z "$args" ]; then
args=$1
else
args="$args $1"
fi
shift
done
tty=$1
logger "tty is $tty"
logger "other args are $args"
echo "Hello there" >/dev/$tty
sleep 600
Note that the TTY name is last in the argument list.
