ttyv* unkillable

[Seeker]

For example:

 2453  v2  Is+    0:00.00 /usr/libexec/getty Pc ttyv2

Now I want to kill it:

kill 2453

It simply reappears

27873  v2  Ss+    0:00.00 /usr/libexec/getty Pc ttyv2

Is init doing this?
How can I kill it, until next boot.

Yes, this is managed by init. Have a loot at /etc/ttys.

 

[Seeker]

Yes I had a look and don't want to edit it.
Just to kill it once in multi user mode and to stay killed until reboot.

It will only stay killed if you edit /etc/ttys, turn off ttyv2 and send a SIGHUP to init(8).

No, no. That is a little bit of a permanent kill. After reboot it stays killed/down.
However, is there something I can send to init, so it would kill it and not respawn it?
Would this help:

# Drop into SUM
shutdown now

Then killing it? I'm at faculty so can't test it now.

No.
