SYNOPSIS

       remote-tty [-l LoginName] [-7] [-r] socket

DESCRIPTION

       remote-tty is the frontend for the remote-tty daemon. It is normally invoked using rconsole.  It connects
       to the backend ttysrv process over a Unix socket and allows the user to  view  what's  happening  on  the
       serial console and interact with it.

OPTIONS

       socket The full path to the Unix socket for the ttysrv instance to connect to.

       -l loginname
              Specify the login name to use. Defaults to the username if not specified.

       -r     Set  restricted  mode; don't allow changing of logging status, suspending of remote-tty or setting
              of line options.

       -7     Set 7bit mode.
