One time auto console login.

I know I can auto-login on the console using this in /etc/inittab:

Code:

1:2345:respawn:/sbin/getty --autologin <user-name> tty1

Can I limit it to allow only one auto-login per boot?

There might be a better way to do this: I added this to /etc/rc.local

Code:

openvt -f -c 7 -- /bin/login -f <user-name> &
chvt 7

Now I just need to figure out how to get the openvt command to run again (no auto this time) after an exit or after exec startx has exited.
