DISABLE(C)                                 UNIX System V



     Name
          disable - turns off terminals and printers


     Syntax
          disable tty ...
          disable [-c][-r[reason]] printers


     Description
          For    terminals,    this    program     manipulates     the
          /etc/conf/cf.d/init.base  file  and signals init to disallow
          logins on a  particular  terminal.   For  printers,  disable
          stops  print  requests from being sent to the named printer.
          The following options can be used:

          -c          Cancels  any   requests   that   are   currently
                      printing.

          -r[reason]  Associates a reason with disabling the  printer.
                      The  reason applies to all printers listed up to
                      the next -r option.  If the  -r  option  is  not
                      present  or  the  -r  option  is given without a
                      reason, then a default reason is  used.   Reason
                      is reported by lpstat(C).


     Examples
          In this example, a printer named linepr is disabled  because
          of a paper jam:

               disable -r"paper jam" linepr


     Files
          /dev/tty*

          /etc/conf/cf.d/init.base

          /usr/spool/lp/*
