NAME
|
|
getty - system login banner
|
|
|
|
SYNOPSIS
|
|
getty [banner ...]
|
|
|
|
DESCRIPTION
|
|
Getty displays a system identification banner, reads a user name from
|
|
standard input and executes login with that name as argument.
|
|
|
|
Getty uses its arguments separated by spaces as a login banner. The
|
|
character sequences \n, \s and \t are printed as newline, space and tab.
|
|
Any other \x prints that x. The character sequences %s, %n, etc. produce
|
|
the same output as uname -s, uname -n, etc. The default banner is
|
|
|
|
%s\s\sRelease\s%r\sVersion\s%v\n\n%n\slogin:\s
|
|
|
|
The only other useful functionality offered by getty is that it can be
|
|
suspended by signal SIGUSR1 and restarted by SIGUSR2. This allows a
|
|
program such as modem(1) to temporarily claim a dialin line for dialout.
|
|
|
|
SEE ALSO
|
|
modem(1), ttytab(5), init(8).
|
|
|
|
BUGS
|
|
Getty should be taught about modems and modem lines. The signal trick is
|
|
an awful hack.
