NAMEct — spawn getty to a remote terminal (call terminal) DESCRIPTIONct dials telno, the telephone number of a modem that is attached to a terminal, and spawns a getty(1M) process to that terminal. ct tries each line listed in file /etc/uucp/Devices until it finds an available line with appropriate attributes or runs out of entries. If no lines are free, ct asks whether it should wait for a line, and if so, how many minutes it should wait before giving up. ct searches again for an available line at one-minute intervals until the specified limit is exceeded. Note that normally, ct disconnects the current tty line, so that the line can answer the incoming call. This is because ct assumes that the current tty line is connected to the terminal to spawn the getty process. The telno argument specifies the telephone number, which can be composed of characters 0 through 9, -, =, *, and #. Use equal signs to signify secondary dial tones and minus signs for delays at appropriate places. The maximum length of telno is 31 characters. If more than one telephone number is specified, ct tries each in succession until one answers; this is useful for specifying alternate dialing paths. When ct disconnects the current line, getty should not be spawned on this line if ct is going to make use of the same line to reconnect. To do this, set the entry for this line in the inittab file to uugetty instead of getty (see inittab(4)). Optionsct recognizes the following options and command-line arguments:
After the user on the destination terminal logs out, ct prompts, Reconnect? If the response begins with the letter n the line is dropped. Otherwise, getty is restarted and the login: prompt is printed. Of course, the destination terminal must be attached to a modem that can automatically answer incoming calls. |
