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 infor-
mation.
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.
