JFTR: The point of the [] in

ps faux | grep get[t]y

was that it eliminates the grep itself from the output.

You could try killing one of them and then switching to the VT. init
should restart it which may cause it to become alive again. Pressing
enter a couple of times might also help as the first should cause the
getty to hand control over to login and the second should cause a login
failure followed by getty being restarted.
