- I'm using uugetty and getty from the getty_ps package with Linux 0.97.1
- Everything is working great, dialups are easy and the autobaud method is
- 'charming.' However, I'm having trouble getting the shell (or whatever the
- current parent process is) to die when modem carrier is lost before logout.
-
- I have a smart modem, and am using &c1&d2&s1 for the relevant settings.
- &c1 makes the DCD track the modem carrier status
- &d2 disconnects in response to a DTR drop (not really relevant here)
- &s1 makes the DSR follow EIA specs. (I thought this was the key, but no.)
-
- I need to generate a SIGHUP (I assume) to the process when a connection dies
- before logout, but this doesn't seem to be happening. How do I fix it?
