Does anyone have any experience with getty(1) on the /dev/console.

We are trying to write a program that catches the SIGINT, SIGQUIT,
and SIGTERM signals from the /dev/console when the operator hit 
the key associates with that signal.

We want to be able to connect the program with the console instead 
of getty or in addition to getty, but be sure that the program and 
not getty catches the signal.

Any ideas or examples are welcome.

You do not want to do this.  Why not explain in more detail?
