     ENABLE(C)                            UNIX System V



     Name
          enable - turns on terminals and line printers


     Syntax
          enable tty ...
          enable printers


     Description
          For    terminals    this     program     manipulates     the
          /etc/conf/init.base file and signals init to allow logins on
          a particular terminal.

          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

     Files
          /dev/tty*

          /etc/conf/init.base

          /usr/spool/lp/*

     Authorization
          The behavior of this utility is affected  by  assignment  of
          the printerstat authorization, which is usually reserved for
          system administrators.   Refer  to  the  ``Using  a  Trusted
          System'' chapter of the User's Guide for more details.
