This appendix describes:

OSSTTY
OSSTTY can run as a single-use process or as a server. OSSTTY provides an
alternative to Telserv for OSS program terminal input or output using OSS standard
files. The OSS terminal interface allows input and output only through network virtual
terminal devices; using Telserv for access to such devices, OSS standard files cannot
be redirected to or from Guardian files such as EDIT files or home terminal processes
such as $VHS and $ZHOME. OSSTTY allows input/output redirection using such files
and processes.
The OSSTTY server runs as a fault-tolerant process pair with the subsystem ID
number 245 and the subsystem name of OSSTTY. The OSSTTY server runs as a
subtype 30 Guardian process and uses device type 6 for the three standard process
name qualifiers #stdin, #stdout, and #stderr.
Starting OSSTTY
OSSTTY can be started:
•
Using the OSSTTY command from a TACL prompt, as described in this appendix.
•
Using the OSH command with the -osstty flag, as described in the osh(1)
reference page either online or in the Open System Services Shell and Utilities
Reference Manual.
•
Using the Subsystem Control Facility (SCF) Kernel subsystem to place it under the
control of the persistence monitor, so that it starts automatically after a system
load. See Examples on page C-6 for a suggested set of commands.
