aspects??
FWIW, I've used kill -HUP 1 on FreeBSD for reloading /etc/ttys
since roughly 1997. No repercussions. Ever. Not once.
It wasn't until sometime in the early 2000s that I found init(8)
mentioning you could do init q instead, so since then I've done that.
That's the experience! good to hear
Hi all,
Is there any way to apply /etc/ttys changes on system, except for
*restarting system*and *running kill -HUP 1* command ?
Due some reasons, i need to change tc value of some of my ttys,
periodically. I'm looking for a safer way than *kill -HUP 1* command. So,
as this command is not a good
Dumb question because of dumb action: can anyone point me to a place
where I can find a copy of /etc/ttys? - suitable for FreeBSD v7.2
Thanks

As every careless stupid user would do, today I have destroyed
my /etc/ttys. Luckily I didn't reboot after I destroyed this file. (Yes
I know I should backup before editing /etc/ttys, the fact is I didn't
try to edit it at all, it's a typo that made me pipe the output of some
app to this file

need to be educated about cu :-). So I put the following in
/etc/ttys:
ttyv0 /usr/bin/cu -l cuaa0 vt100 on secure
But this gives me the following error when restarting init:
init: getty repeating too quickly on port /dev/ttyv0, sleeping 30 secs
Apparently cu can
30 secs
Apparently cu can not be started directly from /etc/ttys, can it? How
else should I accomplish this?
I think you are trying to start cu on a _virtual_ terminal (ttyvN). In
my /etc/ttys the section with the virtual terminals is followed by these
entries:
# Serial
Hello,
I'm trying to turn an old pc into a serial console. I can perfectly get
a login on the other end of the line with cu -l cuaa0, but I would
like to have this command started automatically at boot, so the users
don't need to be educated about cu :-). So I put the following in
/etc/ttys

there in the kernel, but maybe something fairly simple is missing from
whatever reads /etc/ttys; eg, to know which NIC is to be the console
port), and maybe there needs to be an ethernet-getty (similar to
telnet, but which needn't even use IP addresses). And maybe a
ethconsole addition to comconsole
, working
just like a serial console. I'm sure the Ethernet support is mostly
there in the kernel, but maybe something fairly simple is missing from
whatever reads /etc/ttys; eg, to know which NIC is to be the console
port), and maybe there needs to be an ethernet-getty (similar to
telnet
was thinking that the serial port only got into the picture
after the kernel was loaded and / was mounted so /etc/ttys could be
read to configure the console, but you remind me that it comes into
play during a mid-phase of the boot loading. So what I'm looking for
would require a considerable change
/etc/ttys has a field called type and says that network is an
option, but I can't find that expanded upon in its manpage or in the
Handbook or FAQ. I've tried googling, but my searches either return a
small list with no relevant info or a huge list that seems to be all
off topic.
