Hi, could someone tell me what signals a Xenix 2.3.x getty understands and
what the resulting getty action is upon receiving the signal? And has there
been a change from the 2.2.3 getty?
I am asking because it seems uucico leaves the getty in a strange state after
dialing out on a tty and not allowing logins on the same tty after it is done
with it. A disable/enable fixes it, but I'd like to just modify my dialTBIT
routine to give the getty a little nudge when it is done with it to wake it
back up. I have had moderate success sending the getty a SIGTERM, but I was
wondering if there was a proper way of initializing the getty without having
to disable and re-enable it.
