Firstly, getty shouldn't just panic on failure (it should instead return Results like the other utilities). Because of how getty affects the state of the system, I think the execve() call may be alright though.

getty should not be hard-coded to call /bin/ion. It should instead take an argument specifying what TTY to take control of and what program to start on said TTY (the current values can serve as defaults, however). We may want to implement gettytab or something similar as well.

True. Please ignore my previous simple implementation. We need a decent getty.

Yeah, I'm just writing down some notes. The current version is a good enough jumping off point though.
