hi all,
on centos 5 - I could trim the number of mingetty's running by editing /etc/inittab
on centos 6 there are none in the /etc/inittab file but it reverences /etc/init/tty.conf. I dont see in there how to control how many mingetty's get started. Where is that?
THanks,
Jerry

THanks,
Check out ACTIVE_CONSOLES in /etc/sysconfig/init.

Does that matter much? Multiple instances of a program should mostly share RAM anyway.

Assuming actually true reentrant code.

No, just assuming separate code and data segments. Any executable code copies loaded from the same inode should be shared and paged in on demand (unless linux has learned nothing from decades-old unix). If the copies were forked from a single instance instead of started individually they could also share data in copy-on-write pages until an instance changes a value.
