Does the tinit utility work in QNX 7?  I know the photon option obviously doesn't but I was wondering about the rest of 
it especially the part about restarting programs like login on the consoles.

My etc/ttys file is
con1 "/bin/login -f root" qansi-m on 
con2 "/bin/login" qansi-m on
con3 "/bin/login" qansi-m on 
con4 "/bin/login" qansi-m on

so I expect an autologin of root on console 1 and logins on consoles 2-4.

What I get is nothing on consoles 1-4. They exist (I can ctrl-alt-(1-5)) but there is no logins or auto logins. All I 
have is my debug shell on console 5. Pidin reveals tinit is running and I can restart it infinitely but it never 
properly takes control of con1-4 as it used to do in QNX 6.3. 

So does tinit work in QNX 7 or am I doing something wrong / it just doesn't work with devc-con-hid?
