In +conjunction with xdm, the -x option counts the number of lines in +.B __ttys_file__ +and then adds to that the number of the line in the Xservers file which +specifies the display. The display name must be specified as the +"line-name" using the -l option. This sum is used as the "slot-number" in +the utmp file that this entry will be written at. In the more general case, +the -s option specifies the slot-number directly. If for some strange reason +your system uses a file other than +.B __ttys_file__ +to manage init, the -t option can direct +\fIsessreg\fP to look elsewhere for a count of terminal sessions. +.PP +Conversely, System V managers will not ever need to use these options (-x, +-s and -t). To make the program easier to document and explain, +\fIsessreg\fP accepts the BSD-specific flags in the System V +environment and ignores them. +.PP +BSD and Linux also have a host-name field in the utmp file which doesn't +exist in System V. This option is also ignored by the System V version of +\fIsessreg\fP. +.SH USAGE +.PP +In Xstartup, place a call like: +.nf + + sessreg -a -l $DISPLAY -x /etc/X11/xdm/Xservers $USER + +.fi +and in Xreset: +.nf + + sessreg -d -l $DISPLAY -x /etc/X11/xdm/Xservers $USER +.fi +.SH OPTIONS +.IP "\fB-w\fP \fIwtmp-file\fP" +This specifies an alternate wtmp file, instead of +.BR __wtmp_file__ . +The special name "none" disables writing records to the wtmp file. +.IP "\fB-u\fP \fIutmp-file\fP" +This specifies an alternate utmp file, instead of +.BR __utmp_file__ . +The special name "none" disables writing records to the utmp file. +.IP "\fB-L\fP \fIlastlog-file\fP" +This specifies an alternate lastlog file, instead of +.BR __lastlog_file__ , +if the platform supports lastlog files. +The special name "none" disables writing records to the lastlog file. +.IP "\fB-l\fP \fIline-name\fP" +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(__libmansuffix__) and stripped of leading +components. +.IP "\fB-h\fP \fIhost-name\fP" +This is set for BSD hosts to indicate that the session was initiated from +a remote host. In typical xdm usage, this options is not used. +.IP "\fB-s\fP \fIslot-number\fP" +Each potential session has a unique slot number in BSD systems, most are +identified by the position of the \fIline-name\fP in the +.BR __ttys_file__ file. +This option overrides the default position determined with ttyslot(__libmansuffix__). +This option is inappropriate for use with xdm, the -x option is more useful. +.IP "\fB-x\fP \fIXservers-file\fP" +As X sessions are one-per-display, and each display is entered in this file, +this options sets the \fIslot-number\fP to be the number of lines in +the \fIttys-file\fP plus the index into this file that the \fIline-name\fP +is found. +.IP "\fB-t\fP \fIttys-file\fP" +This specifies an alternate file which the \fI-x\fP option will use to count +the number of terminal sessions on a host. +.IP "\fB-a\fP" +This session should be added to utmp/wtmp. +.IP "\fB-d\fP" +This session should be deleted from utmp/wtmp. One of -a/-d must +be specified. +.SH "SEE ALSO" +.BR xdm (__appmansuffix__), +.BR __utmp_manpage__ (__filemansuffix__) +.SH AUTHOR +Keith Packard, MIT X Consortium |
