     UNGETTY(M)		      XENIX System V		    UNGETTY(M)

     Name
	  ungetty - Suspends/restarts a getty process.

     Syntax
	  ungetty [-r, -t] line

     Description
	  ungetty is used to suspend and restart a getty process on a
	  serial line that has been set up as a dial-in/dial-out port.
	  dial(M) invokes ungetty to toggle the port from dial-in to
	  dial-out. (See /usr/lib/uucp/dial.c for a sample program
	  which uses ungetty.)

	  When ungetty is run on a serial line, it checks to see if
	  the line is listed in /usr/lib/uucp/L-devices. If so, it
	  suspends the getty process on that line.

	  ungetty has the following options:

	  -r   Restart a disabled line.

	  -t   Test a line to see if it is enabled.

	  ungetty returns the following values when it is called with
	  no options:

	  0    The line is not enabled.

	  1    Successful. The getty on that line is suspended.

	  2    Could not suspend the getty. This means that the line
	       is being used by another program.

	  ungetty returns the following values when used with the -t
	  and -r options:

	  0    -r or -t:
	       Line not enabled.

	  1    -r:
	       Successfully restarted.

	       -t:
	       Line needs restarting.

	  2    -r or -t:
	       Cannot restart getty.
