NAME
      ttyconv - convert tty entries

SYNOPSIS
      /usr/sbin/ttyconv [option]

DESCRIPTION
      The ttyconv command will convert ttymon entries to getty/inittab, and
      vice-versa.  ttyconv with no options will convert inittab entries to
      ttymon entries by performing the following:

      1)   create a new /etc/ttydefs based on the current contents of
           /etc/gettydefs.

      2)   create log file entries in /var/saf.

      3)   create entries in /etc/saf/ttymon3/pmtab and
           /etc/saf/ttymon5/pmtab based upon the getty and uugetty entries in
           /etc/inittab.

      4)   remove the getty and uugetty entries from /etc/inittab.

      5)   remove the getty and uugetty entries from /etc/conf/cf.d/init.base.

      Descriptions of the process will be displayed as they occur.

OPTIONS
      -r reverse process.  Convert from ttymon to inittab/getty.

NOTES
      ttyconv can be executed as often as needed.  If, for instance, a serial
      driver was added to the system that configures /etc/inittab for getty
      entries, ttyconv can be executed again to convert these new getty entries
      to ttymon format.

WARNINGS
      ttyconv must be executed from init state 1, otherwise strange behavior
      may result, i.e., getty and ttymon processes running on the same port.
