:another approach is to wrap a shell around the process that

:on my 3b2 for example, i changed /etc/inittab to run what i call
:"bigetty".  bigetty is simply a shell that looks like:
:
:ulimit XXXX
:/etc/getty $*

Another way to do this is to put something like this in your inittab file:

24:234:respawn:sh -c 'ulimit XXXX; exec /etc/getty tty24 38400'

This also saves you from running two shells.
