enable(C)
enable --
turn on terminals and line printers
Syntax
enable tty
...
enable printers
Description
For terminals this program manipulates the
/etc/conf/cf.d/init.base file and signals init
to allow logins on a particular terminal.
Do not use this command to enable /dev/console, as this may
corrupt the /etc/inittab file.
For line printers, enable
activates the named printers and enables them to print
requests taken by
lp(C).
Use
lpstat(C)
to find the status of the printers.
Examples
A simple command to enable tty01 follows:
enable tty01
Authorization
The behavior of this utility is affected by assignment of the
printerstat authorization. Refer to the
Chapter 9, ``Using a secure system''
in the SCO OpenServer Operating System User's Guide
for more details.
