Or you can do this in inittab:

cat /etc/inittab
+---------------------------------------------------------------------
| # /etc/inittab
| # Boot-time system configuration/initialization script.
| # This is run first except when booting in single-user mode.
| ::sysinit:/etc/rc.d/rc.S
|
| # Login /bin/sh invocations on selected ttys.
| #
| # Start a shell on the console
| ::respawn:-/bin/sh
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
| # Start an "askfirst" shell on tty2 and tty3
| tty2::askfirst:-/bin/sh
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
| #tty3::askfirst:-/bin/sh
|
| # /sbin/getty invocations for selected ttys.
| #
| #tty1::respawn:/sbin/getty 38400 tty1
| #tty2::respawn:/sbin/getty 38400 tty2
|
| # Example of how to put a getty on a serial line (for a terminal)
| #
| #ttyS0::respawn:/sbin/getty -L ttyS0 9600 vt100
| #ttyS1::respawn:/sbin/getty -L ttyS1 9600 vt100
| #
| # Example how to put a getty on a modem line.
| #ttyS2::respawn:/sbin/getty -x0 -s 57600 ttyS2
|
| # Reboot when ctrl-alt-del keys are pressed.
| #::ctrlaltdel:/sbin/reboot
| #::ctrlaltdel:/sbin/brc
|
| # Stuff to do before halting or rebooting.
| ::shutdown:/sbin/swapoff -a >/dev/null 2>&1
| ::shutdown:/bin/umount -a -r >/dev/null 2>&1
