DMCONF(5)							     DMCONF(5)

NAME
       dm.conf - dm configuration file

DESCRIPTION
       Dm.conf	is  the configuration file for the dm(8) program.  It consists
       of lines beginning with one of three  keywords,	``badtty'',  ``game'',
       and ``time''.  All other lines are ignored.

       Any  tty	 listed after the keyword ``badtty'' may not have games played
       on it.  Entries consist of two white-space separated fields: the string
       ``badtty''  and the ttyname as returned by ttyname(3).  For example, to
       keep the uucp dialout, ``tty19'', from being used for games, the	 entry
       would be:

	      badtty	/dev/tty19

       Any  day/hour combination listed after the keyword ``time'' will disal‐
       low games during those hours.  Entries consist of four white-space sep‐
       arated  fields:	the string ``time'', the unabbreviated day of the week
       and the beginning and ending time of a period of the day when games may
       not  be	played.	 The time fields are in a 0 based, 24-hour clock.  For
       example, the following entry allows games playing before 8AM and	 after
       5PM on Mondays.

	      time	Monday	  8    17

       Any  game  listed  after the keyword ``game'' will set parameters for a
       specific game.  Entries consist of five white-space  separated  fields:
       the keyword ``game'', the name of a game, the highest system load aver‐
       age at which the game may be played, the maximum users allowed  if  the
       game  is to be played, and the priority at which the game is to be run.
       Any of these fields may start with a non-numeric	 character,  resulting
       in  no  game  limitation	 or  priority  based  on that field.  The game
       "default" controls the settings for any game not otherwise listed,  and
       must  be	 the  last  ``game'' entry in the file.	 Priorities may not be
       negative.  For example, the following entries limits the game  ``hack''
       to running only when the system has 10 or less users and a load average
       of 5 or less; all other games may be run any time the system has 15  or
       less users.

	      game	hack	  5    10   * game	default	  *    15   *
