How can I stop auto serial port auto login console and getty in the Raspbian 8 (Jessie) OS, and why is /etc/inittab/ empty?
Where can I get this (#Spawn a getty on Raspberry Pi serial line T0:23:respawn:/sbin/getty -L ttyAMA0 115200 vt100 ) in Raspbian 8 (Jessie)?
inittab was a part of sysvinit, which has been replaced with systemd.. Serial getty is now a service like any other. So in order to stop this service, simply write in terminal;
sudo systemctl stop [email protected]
systemctl disable [email protected].
For Raspbian try
sudo raspi-config
It should have an option to disable serial boot messages and getty under Advanced -> Serial.
You may need to reboot for that to take affect.
Alternatively disable the service if running with systemd.
sudo sysctl -p
sudo systemctl disable [email protected]
sudo sysctl -p do and/or why is it used?

sysctl --help) but it didn't tell me much. Tried it myself and didn't see anything visible happen and I had never seen the use of it before disabling a service with systemd.

sysvinit package in Jessie (it was the default in all previous Raspian & Debian distributions) if you really want to - and once you have rebooted so that init is your PID 1 you can then uninstall systemd - you may need to add/remove other dependencies. I haven't been much impressed by systemd in some areas (documentation; use in non-"standard" system settings) and that is why I try to avoid it like the plague...
sudo systemctl stop [email protected]
