NAME

       utmpset - logout a line from utmp and wtmp file

SYNOPSIS

       utmpset [ -w ] line

DESCRIPTION

       The  utmpset  program modifies the user accounting database utmp(5) and optionally wtmp(5)
       to indicate that the user on the terminal line has logged out.

       Ordinary init(8) processes handle utmp file  records  for  local  login  accounting.   The
       runit(8)  program doesn't include code to update the utmp file, the getty(8) processes are
       handled the same as all other services.

       To enable local login accounting, add utmpset to the getty(8) finish scripts, e.g.:

        $ cat /service/getty-5/finish
        #!/bin/sh
        exec utmpset -w tty5
        $

OPTIONS

       -w     wtmp. Additionally to the utmp file, write an empty record for  line  to  the  wtmp
              file.

EXIT CODES

       utmpset returns 111 on error, 1 on wrong usage, 0 in all other cases.
