Table C4-4. Supported Arguments For Rtelnet - Bay Networks 5390 Administering

893-741-B
Table C4-4. Supported Arguments for rtelnet
Argument Description
–a Use alternate pty banks—switch between BSD and SysV ptys.
–b Requests negotiation for Telnet binary mode when
communicating with the Model 5390 server.
–c Default to CBREAK mode on the pty—avoid cooked line
–d Turns on socket-level debugging.
–f Opens network connection when the slave pseudo-device is
opened. Use in conjunction with –m to ensure that rtelnet
drops the connection when the slave device is not in use.
–h Resets the Model 5390 port when the connection closes; valid
only if the Model 5390 password parameter is not set. Use in
conjunction with –m.
–k Periodically retries network connection ('keepalive').
–lfile Appends log output to given file name.
–m Drops the network connection when the slave pseudo-device is
closed. This argument frequently is used for dial-out modems,
causing them to hang up when a program like tip exits.
–n Never open the slave side of the pseudo-device.
–o Holds the slave side of the pseudo-device open at all times.
–p Provides the process ID of the child on standard output.
–r Overwrites the device-name if it already exists. Without –r,
rtelnet exits with an error message if device-name already
exists. The –r argument will not remove regular links, files, or
directories.
–s Uses a symbolic link instead of a hard link for the slave.
–t Creates a transparent TCP connection to the indicated
Model 5390 server. The connection is made through
Model 5390 ports in the 7000 range, rather than the 5000
range, and no Telnet option negotiation or carriage
return/line-feed mapping is used.
