NAME
uugetty - set terminal type, modes, speed and line discipline
SYNOPSIS
/usr/lbin/uucp/uugetty [-h][-t timeout ][-r] line [speed [type [linedisc]]]
/usr/lbin/uucp/uugetty -c file
DESCRIPTION
uugetty sets terminal type, modes, speed and line discipline. It is similar to getty, except that
uugetty supports using the line in both directions (see getty(1M)). This allows users to log in, but, if the
line is free, uucico, cu, and ct can dial out (see uucico(1), cu(1), and ct(1)). When devices are used with
uucico, cu, and ct, lock files are created. Therefore, when the call to open() returns (see open(2)) (or
the first character is read when the -r option is used), the status of the lock files indicates whether the
line is used by uucico, cu, ct, or someone trying to log in. See getty(1M) for more information.
Note that with the -r option, several carriage-return characters might be required before the login mes-
sage is output. When uucico is trying to log in, it can be instructed to enter numerous carriage-return
characters with the following login script:
\r\d\r\d\r\d\r in:-in:
...
where ... represents whatever would normally be used for the login sequence.
An entry for an intelligent modem or direct line that has a
uugetty on each end must use the
-r option
(this causes uugetty to wait to read a character before it enters the login message, thus preventing two
instances of
uugetty from looping). If there is a uugetty on one end of a direct line, there must be a
uugetty on the other end as well.
EXAMPLES
The following line is an /etc/inittab entry using uugetty on an intelligent modem or direct line:
30:2:respawn:/usr/lbin/uucp/uugetty -r -t 60 tty12 1200
WARNINGS
ct does not work when uugetty is used with an intelligent modem such as a Penril or a Ventel.
