system load monitor as default view in console
Is there a way to have any system load monitor program (say for example, htop or top) as a permanent view after a server boots up automatically. I am talking about console Ctrl + Alt + F2 mode.
Of course I could login and type htop or top but anyone could later q and get a login shell.
Therefore, I need it to autologin and display it. Any suggestions gratefully received.

You could add a special user, sayobserver, and set/usr/bin/htopas that user's login "shell". When that user logs in,htopis executed. If he quits it, he is logged off.

Related (over on U&L) Start a process on a different tty, especially this answer. Basically:openvt /usr/bin/top. This will runtopon the first free tty.
