//config:config CTTYHACK
//config: bool "cttyhack (2.5 kb)"
//config: default y
//config: help
//config: One common problem reported on the mailing list is the "can't
//config: access tty; job control turned off" error message, which typically
//config: appears when one tries to use a shell with stdin/stdout on
//config: /dev/console.
//config: This device is special - it cannot be a controlling tty.
//config:
//config: The proper solution is to use the correct device instead of
//config: /dev/console.
//config:
//config: cttyhack provides a "quick and dirty" solution to this problem.
//config: It analyzes stdin with various ioctls, trying to determine whether
//config: it is a /dev/ttyN or /dev/ttySN (virtual terminal or serial line).
//config: On Linux it also checks sysfs for a pointer to the active console.
//config: If cttyhack is able to find the real console device, it closes
//config: stdin/out/err and reopens that device.
//config: Then it executes the given program. Opening the device will make
//config: that device a controlling tty. This may require cttyhack
//config: to be a session leader.
//config:
//config: Example for /etc/inittab (for busybox init):
//config:
//config: ::respawn:/bin/cttyhack /bin/sh
//config:
//config: Starting an interactive shell from boot shell script:
//config:
//config: setsid cttyhack sh
//config:
//config: Giving controlling tty to shell running with PID 1:
//config:
//config: # exec cttyhack sh
//config:
//config: Without cttyhack, you need to know exact tty name,
//config: and do something like this:
//config:
//config: # exec setsid sh -c 'exec sh </dev/tty1 >/dev/tty1 2>&1'
//config:
//config: Starting getty on a controlling tty from a shell script:
//config:
//config: # getty 115200 $(cttyhack)
