I would recommend looking into xdm. I think it is standard system
software at SR10.2+. I know it comes with HP-VUE. It is also available as
part of the MIT X11R3/4 core software if it is not on your Apollo.

xdm is a display manager that handles getty-type functions. It is highly
configurable in that you can fine tune the environment for your particular
site (e.g. run uwm, start up an xterm, etc.).
