Configuring terminal line settings

Examples of ttyadm option settings

The following option settings are recommended for ttyadm:

-b -r 0: Setting count to 0 means ttymon will display a prompt after receiving any character. This setting is often used with a modem configured for switched carrier, where bi-directional operation is required.
-b -r 8: Setting count to 8 means ttymon will display a prompt only after eight newlines have been received. This setting is often used when the modem has carrier detect set permanently high (``ON'').
no options: This setting is often used with a single, dial-in port monitor.

NOTE: The getty program still exists in UnixWare 7. However, modify these applications to use the administration interfaces available under the SAF. In particular, for serial port monitoring, ttymon in daemon mode is recommended.

In addition to the standard port monitors, the SAF architecture allows new port monitors to be installed by users and applications.

For more information about port monitors, see ttymon(1M) and listen(1M).
