The way I do it is to have in my .login something like the following:

if( ${OPSYS} == "irix" ) then
	if( `tty` == "/dev/console" ) then
		wsh -f Screen10 -m 140,67 -p 10,10 -E -s 80,63 -t SGI -c /edp/edp/edp328j/bin.irix/tcsh
		wsh -f Screen10 -v -m 140,67 -p 695,350 -E -s 67,40 -t Pyramid -c /usr/bsd/rlogin monu6
		wsh -f Screen10 -m 140,67 -p 695,10 -E -s 67,20 -t SGI -c /edp/edp/edp328j/bin.irix/tcsh
	endif
endif

which checks to see that I am logged into the console, and then forks off
three windows, and runs the shells I like in each of them, including rloging
into our main machine here.

Hope that helps.
