I am using ttyS0 as a serial console to connect to a redhat linux , which is setup using /etc/init/ttyS0.conf /etc/init/ttyS0.conf. When

When I am connected to serial console , could not find agettyagetty process however sees a bashbash shell on ttyS0ttyS0. Whereas with SSH, I could see agettyagetty process in process listing. How this work, does bash kill agetty and get itself on ttyS0 when connecting over console.

/etc/init/ttyS0.conf

# /etc/init/ttyS0.conf

 start on runlevel [23]
#

 exec agetty -h -L -w /dev/ttyS0 115200 vt102
