ttyadm(1M) System Administration Commands ttyadm(1M)NAMEttyadm - format and output port monitor-specific information
SYNOPSIS
/usr/sbin/ttyadm [-b] [-c] [-h] [-I] [-r count] [-i msg] [-m modules]
[-p prompt] [-t timeout] [-S y | n] [-T termtype] -d device -l ttyla‐
bel -s service
/usr/sbin/ttyadm -V
DESCRIPTION
The ttyadm command is an administrative command that formats tty‐
mon(1M)-specific information and writes it to standard output. The Ser‐
vice Access Facility (SAF) requires each port monitor to provide such a
command. Note that the port monitor administrative file is updated by
the Service Access Controller's administrative commands, sacadm(1M) and
pmadm(1M). ttyadm provides a means of presenting formatted port moni‐
tor-specific (ttymon-specific) data to these commands.
OPTIONS
The following options are supported:
-b Set the ``bi-directional port'' flag. When this flag is
set, the line can be used in both directions. ttymon
will allow users to connect to the service associated
with the port, but if the port is free, uucico(1M),
cu(1C), or ct(1C) can use it for dialing out.
-c Set the connect-on-carrier flag for the port. If the -c
flag is set, ttymon will invoke the port's associated
service immediately when a connect indication is
received (that is, no prompt is printed and no baud-
rate searching is done).
-d device device is the full pathname of the device file for the
TTY port.
-h Set the hangup flag for the port. If the -h flag is not
set, ttymon will force a hangup on the line by setting
the speed to 0 before setting the speed to the default
or specified value.
-i message Specify the inactive (disabled) response message. This
message will be sent to the TTY port if the port is
disabled or the ttymon monitoring the port is disabled.
-I Initialize only. If the -I option is used, ttymon will
invoke the service only once. This can be used to con‐
figure a particular device without actually monitoring
it, as with software carrier.
-l ttylabel Specify which ttylabel in the /etc/ttydefs file to use
as the starting point when searching for the proper
baud rate.
-m modules Specify a list of pushable STREAMS modules. The modules
will be pushed in the order in which they are specified
before the service is invoked. modules must be a comma-
separated list of modules, with no white space
included. Any modules currently on the stream will be
popped before these modules are pushed.
-p prompt Specify the prompt message, for example, ``login:''.
-r count When the -r option is invoked, ttymon will wait until
it receives data from the port before it displays a
prompt. If count is 0, ttymon will wait until it
receives any character. If count is greater than 0,
ttymon will wait until count newlines have been
received.
-s service service is the full pathname of the service to be
invoked when a connection request is received. If argu‐
ments are required, the command and its arguments must
be enclosed in double quotes (" ").
-S y|n Set the software carrier value. y will turn software
carrier on. n will turn software carrier off.
-t timeout Specify that ttymon should close a port if the open on
the port succeeds, and no input data is received in
timeout seconds.
-T termtype Set the terminal type. The TERM environment variable
will be set to termtype.
-V Display the version number of the current
/usr/lib/saf/ttymon command.
OUTPUT
If successful, ttyadm will generate the requested information, write it
to standard output, and exit with a status of 0. If ttyadm is invoked
with an invalid number of arguments or invalid arguments, or if an
incomplete option is specified, an error message will be written to
standard error and ttymon will exit with a non-zero status.
