+ This device is special - it cannot be a controlling tty.
+
+ The proper solution is to use the correct device instead of
+ /dev/console.
+
+ cttyhack provides a "quick and dirty" solution to this problem.
+ It analyzes stdin with various ioctls, trying to determine whether
+ it is a /dev/ttyN or /dev/ttySN (virtual terminal or serial line).
+ On Linux it also checks sysfs for a pointer to the active console.
+ If cttyhack is able to find the real console device, it closes
+ stdin/out/err and reopens that device.
+ Then it executes the given program. Opening the device will make
+ that device a controlling tty. This may require cttyhack
+ to be a session leader.

+
+ ::respawn:/bin/cttyhack /bin/sh
