I have a question about setting up a TTY line so that 
everytime the system is brought up a specific program is initiated 
on that line. 
I am running SCO's Xenix 2.3.2 on an Epson 386. I have been 
told that Xenix uses the gettydefs and does not use init.  
Unix does use init? A friend made the comment that it is 
easy to set up committed ttys for specific applications in Unix. 
The bottom line is:
The terminal will be at a workstation where many users
(equipment operators) will be entering data to the same 
program continuously. If the system is shutdown, I want the 
program to be started automatically. I don't want anything
but the program to be running on the terminal.  
I know that there is probably many ways 
to do this, however I would like to know If there is 
a Xenix user out there who is using such a configuration.
Thank You,
KEN
