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=3D$1
  else
    args=3D"$args $1"
  fi
  shift
done
tty=3D$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.
