You can do it with /etc/ttys. Actually this point is missing by many
FreeBSD administrators, people just think of /etc/ttys in term of
terminals and stuff :) But if youi'll open the man page you would
found the following:
The first field is normally the name of the terminal special file as it
is found in /dev. However, it can be any arbitrary string when the asso-
ciated command is not related to a tty.
So you can perfectly run any program there and init will watch or it, just
like in linux.
