I figured the best way would be to run it from init(8) so that it would

The problem was that monit, like most programs, doesn't want arbitrary
arguments on its command line, and the normal way init(8) starts a
"getty" is to explicitly pass the terminal name as an additional
argument. I could have named the session "-I", but that's UGLY.
You can already do this with an empty `tty' field:
```
qemu# fgrep httpd /etc/ttys
"" "/usr/libexec/httpd -fqX /tmp" unknown on
qemu# ps -Au | fgrep httpd
root 27217 0.0 0.0 17528 3524 ? I 8:10AM 0:00.01 /usr/libexec/httpd -fqX /tmp
root 22911 0.0 0.0 11900 1392 ttyE0 O+ 8:11AM 0:00.00 fgrep httpd
qemu#
```
