| Issue |
We're trying to implement auto-starting a QNX4 application; that is, when the user switches on the computer, we want to automatically log in as "root" and start-up our application software.
We know about the sysinit.<node> file and placed "login -f root" at the end of that file; and took out the photon shell startup stuff. However, what we get is the message "getty:must be session leader!" and the root login fails.
Can you please point out what we're doing wrong here ?

| Solution |
Set login to root, then either at the end of the /etc/config/sysinit.<node> (after the tinit line) or in the default /etc/profile file add the line to call the application and setup the environment before it.
The following line will work to login as root. Please note, to use login automatically root cannot have a password.
tinit -c "login -f root" -t /dev/con1 &
