Starting OSSTTY
-coll collector
specifies the Event Management Service (EMS) collector process to receive the
OSSTTY event messages. If you specify a collector process that cannot be used,
OSSTTY issues a warning message.
If you omit this option or if the specified collector process is not valid, OSSTTY
uses $0 as the collector process.
-help
requests a summary of OSSTTY command options. This is the first message
described in Startup Messages on page A-58.
-idletimeout seconds
specifies the time in seconds that OSSTTY waits before terminating after its last
opener closes it. The time waiting allows another OSS process to open it if
necessary for additional processing.
Valid values are in the range 0 through 32767. A value of 0 indicates that OSSTTY
should terminate immediately after its last opener closes it.
If you specify this option, you cannot specify the -server option.
If you omit this option, OSSTTY uses the value of 30 seconds.
-[no]prefixpid
controls whether OSSTTY prefixes standard file data for OUT or TERM with
information to identify the OSS application being serviced. If a copy of OSSTTY
services more than one OSS application, this prefix data can help distinguish
which data comes from each application.
When the -prefixpid option is specified, a text string of the following form is
prefixed to each data block:
pid:objame
pid
indicates the OSS process ID for the application process.
objame
indicates the process program filename for the application process.
When the -noprefixpid option is specified, no information is added to the data
blocks.
If you do not specify either option, OSSTTY uses the -noprefixpid option.
