Description: minimal console getty that can run any process
 rungetty might be the getty you were looking for.  It is able to run any
 program, not just login. If a different program than login is used it usually
 is run as nobody:nogroup, or the user/group specified on the commandline.
 rungetty can even be configured to autologin, under certain circumstances.
 See the manual page for more information.
 .
 You have to change some lines in /etc/inittab for having any effect after
 installing the package.  rungetty is based on mingetty and therefore not
 suitable for serial use.

Seems somewhat reasonable. Though never having used it, seems to be
based on what Stefan suggested earlier, but you have the ability to
control the user and so on, which would seem for me to be able to pickup
the environment as well.

Look at it's docs. I don;t really have time to. :-P
