| Hi guys.
| 
| Is there any way to replace "/usr/libexec/getty Pc"  with a custom application and what would be requirements for such an app?

It's definitely do-able with compiled code.

| Running 
| ttyv0 "/some/app/shell_code.sh Pc" cons23 on secure 
| gives me:
| init: getty repeating too quickly on port /dev/ttyv0, sleeping 30 secs
| and my code is not executed.

This won't work, because shell scripts aren't directly executable. The shell
handles parsing the #!/bin/sh header and executing them for you.
