Well, you're not assigning a terminal or anything.  You're just running
bash.

I don't know if the doshell command is still available with these
newfangled distributions, but I use
c8:1235:respawn:doshell /dev/tty8 /usr/local/bin/bclock.sh
very successfully for years.

Still running SLS,

Every time I see the Dakota, I think about that night.
Shots ringing out, the angry shout, a man losing his life. 
It's something we shouldn't dwell upon, but it's something we shouldn't ignore.
Too many good men have been cut down. Let's pray there won't be any more.
