The error is in "startnos".<br>
<br>
<br>
In your "startnos" file you have:<br>
<br>
<span lang="EN">exec /jnos/jnos -d/jnos -v
</dev/tty5>/dev/tty5 2>&1 <br>
<br>
The error is "jnos -d/jnos -v"<br>
<br>
<br>
You should use:<br>
<br>
<br>
</span><span lang="EN">exec /jnos/jnos -d -v
</dev/tty5>/dev/tty5 2>&1 </span><br>
<br>
-----<br>
<br>
tty5.conf itself is OK<br>

I tried updating as you said. Still no Joy. <br>
<br>
Do I need to be using some sort of SUDO command in any of this for
it to work on boot?<br>
<br>
Here are my updated files. <br>
<br>
"startnos" file (in /jnos directory<br>
==============================================<br>
<span lang="EN">
cd /jnos<br>
rm -f /jnos/spool/mqueue/*.lck 2> /dev/null<br>
rm -f /jnos/spool/mail/*.lck 2> /dev/null<br>
export TZ=PST8PDT<br>
exec /jnos/jnos -d/jnos -v </dev/tty5>/dev/tty5
2>&1 <br>
</span>
==============================================<br>
<br>
and the "tty5.conf" file<br>
<br>
==============================================<br>
<span lang="EN">
# tty5 - getty<br>
#<br>
# This service maintains a getty on tty5 from the point the
system is<br>
# started until it is shut down again.<br>
<br>
start on runlevel [23]<br>
stop on runlevel [!23]<br>
<br>
respawn<br>
exec /jnos/startnos<br>
</span>
==============================================<br>
<br>
What am I missing ?<br>

To start it in virtual tty5 add </dev/tty5>/dev/tty5
2>&1 to the "exec"<br>
line in your startnos file.<br>
<br>
like:<br>
<br>
exec ./jnos -g2 -w7+4 -d </dev/tty5>/dev/tty5 2>&1
<br>
<br>
<br>
export TERM=linux is not necessary<br>
<br>
<br>
Don't use tty5 (or whatever console not in use) to your tty5.conf
file if you use <br>
</dev/tty5>/dev/tty5 2>&1 , etc in your startnos
file.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
You can stop and start tty5 with the commands:<br>
<br>
initctl stop tty5<br>
initctl start tty5<br>
<br>
