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  permissions  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>.
