Hi Micheal,

Yes,  you can use /etc/init/jnos.conf  (active files have to end in 
.conf  there)

I use tty5.conf because I only have to edit one file

#exec /sbin/getty -8 38400 tty5
exec /srv/home-remote/hamradio/jnos/dojnos


In dojnos I have as last line:

exec $jnoscommand </dev/tty5>/dev/tty5 2>&1

So this all reminds me that "tty5" (Function key F5) is started from 
tty5.conf

If you want to use "tty5" with /etc/init/jnos.conf, you have to disable 
tty5 in tty5.conf


(or rename tty5.conf to tty5.conf-old for instance)


73,

Bob VE3TOK
