Is there a way to auto login on the console when the system boots up. So that I can run a script that will provide with a menu to the user instead of the login prompt. And also if the script is killed or it dies it should respawn. Something similar to what /etc/inittab can do in linux. I would appreciate any suggestions or solutions. Thanks ******************************************************************* Pranav A. Desai
