I meant if I don't use inittab but simply type out that line, starting 
with the path to agetty and going to the end, how to kill it after I am 
done so I can use the port for something else without rebooting?

In DOS you unload some programs with -u.  Is there some generic equivalent 
for linux?  Or just kill pidof?
