NAME

       startsrv - invoke ttysrv for a particular host.

SYNOPSIS

       startsrv host

DESCRIPTION

       startsrv  fires	up  ttysrv  for  a  given  host.  It  will  kill  any  already	running  instance  for	that  host, then read /etc/remote-
       tty/opt/<host>.srv for any options to pass to ttysrv (defaulting to those that set 9600,8n1), /etc/remote-tty/prot/<host>.sock for the per-
       missions the socket should be set to (default 660), /etc/remote-tty/owner/<host>.sock for the owner of the socket (default rttymgr:dialout)
       and /etc/remote-tty/prot/<host>.log for the permissions of the logfile (default 640).

       The device node used is /etc/remote-tty/dev/<host>. This will normally be a symlink to the correct file in /dev.

       ttysrv is configured to log to /var/log/remote-tty/<host>/<host>, with a  pidfile  at  /var/run/remote-tty/pid/<host>  and  the	socket	at
       /var/run/remote-tty/sock/<host>.
