Creating and Testing Line Settings

Creating and Testing Line Settings

Create new lines for the gettydefs file by following the example shown in "Checking Line Settings Using IRIX Shell Commands." Each entry in the file is followed by a blank line. After editing the file, run the command:

/etc/getty -c /etc/gettydefs

This causes getty to scan the file and print the results on your terminal. Any unrecognized modes or improperly constructed entries are reported.
