				Setting up the agetty service in OpenRC
				=================================xxxxxx

				The agetty service is an OpenRC specific way to monitor and respawn a
				getty, using agetty, on Linux. To use this method, make sure you aren't
				spawning a getty manager for this port some other way (such as through
				sysvinit/inittab), then run the following commands as root.

				Note that [port] refers to the port you are spawning the getty on, for
				example, tty1 or ttyS0. The full path to it, for example, /dev/tty1
				should not be used.

				```
				# cd /etc/init.d
				# ln -s agetty agetty.[port]
				# cd /etc/conf.d
				# cp agetty agetty.[port]
				#rc-update add agetty.[port] [runlevel]
				```
