How to run /etc/init/ttys0.conf automatically at startup?

Question

I have a script at /etc/init/ttyS0.conf. I'm configuring a KVM guest for Serial Console access so even if the network interface is broken, I can still access it via the serial connection.

I can start the ttyS0 by running sudo start ttyS0 and it works just fine until I reboot. Upon rebooting the system, the ttyS0 isn't running anymore.

How can I get this script to to tun automatically at startup?

Thanks

Here's what my script looks like:

# ttyS0 - getty
#
# This service maintains a getty on ttyS0 from the point the system is
# started until it is shut down again.

start on stopped rc RUNLEVEL=[2345]
stop on runlevel [!2345]

respawn
exec /sbin/getty -L 115200 ttyS0 xterm

Solution

From here

respawn
console none

start on (local-filesystems)
stop on [!12345]

script

exec start ttyS0
end script

Should work i suspect. else, replace start tty0 with a script that starts what you want to start

actually, it uses upstart now, but old style init scripts ought to work

Hi Journeyman, I read up upstart and it seems to be the right way to do this evn though my script is in sync with the upstart specs, it doesn't start when the system boots/restarts. Any ideas? Please have a look at my edit. I've added my script there.
