NAME

SYNOPSIS

DESCRIPTION

This version of sessreg is built using the modern POSIX pututxline(3c) interfaces, which no longer require the slot-number, ttys-file, or Xservers-file mappings. For compatibility with older versions and other operating systems, the -s, -t, and -x flags are accepted, but ignored.

USAGE

       sessreg -a -l $DISPLAY -x /etc/X11/xdm/Xservers $USER

       sessreg -d -l $DISPLAY -x /etc/X11/xdm/Xservers $USER

OPTIONS

-w wtmpx-file

This specifies an alternate wtmpx file, instead of /var/log/wtmp. The special name "none" disables writing records to the wtmpx file.

-u utmpx-file

This specifies an alternate utmpx file, instead of /var/log/utmp. The special name "none" disables writing records to the utmpx file.

-L lastlog-file

This specifies an alternate lastlog file, instead of /usr/adm/lastlog, if the platform supports lastlog files. The special name "none" disables writing records to the lastlog file.

-l line-name

This describes the "line" name of the entry. For terminal sessions, this is the final pathname segment of the terminal device filename (e.g. ttyd0). For X sessions, it should probably be the local display name given to the users session (e.g. :0). If none is specified, the terminal name will be determined with ttyname(3) and stripped of leading components.

-h host-name

This is set to indicate that the session was initiated from a remote host. In typical xdm usage, this options is not used.

-s slot-number

This option is accepted for compatibility, but does nothing in this version of sessreg.

-x Xservers-file

This option is accepted for compatibility, but does nothing in this version of sessreg.

-t ttys-file

This option is accepted for compatibility, but does nothing in this version of sessreg.

-V

This option causes the command to print its version and exit.

-a

This session should be added to utmpx/wtmpx.

-d

This session should be deleted from utmpx/wtmpx. One of -a/-d must be specified.
