DESCRIPTION

The

uucp commands, including uugetty, are targeted for removal from HP-UX; see the WARNINGS

below.

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

Use of uucp commands, including uugetty, is discouraged because they are targeted for removal from

HP-UX. Use ftp(1) or rcp(1) instead.

ct does not work when uugetty is used with an intelligent modem such as a Penril or a Ventel.
