The following is a Linux dictionary word of the day:
agetty – program the same as the Unix getty short for get tty which manages physical or virtual terminals and is summoned by init. Once a connection is detected, it opens a tty port, asks for a user’s login name and calls the /bin/login command.
-8 parameter to use 8-bit tty.
-t parameter stands for timeout
based on the number of seconds given.
-
parameter stands for that the input is already connected to a tty port.
linux argument for the TERM
environment variable to be utilized.
Example: agetty -8 -t 5 - linux
