utmpset(8)                  System Manager's Manual                 utmpset(8)

NAME
       utmpset - logout a line from utmp and wtmp file

SYNOPSIS
       utmpset [ -w ] line

DESCRIPTION
       The  utmpset  program modifies the user accounting database utmp(5) and
       optionally wtmp(5) to indicate that the user on the terminal  line  has
       logged out.

       Ordinary init(8) processes handle utmp file records for local login ac-
       counting.  The runit(8) program doesn't include code to update the utmp
       file,  the  getty(8)  processes  are handled the same as all other ser-
       vices.

       To enable local login accounting, add utmpset to  the  getty(8)  finish
       scripts, e.g.:

        $ cat /service/getty-5/finish
        #!/bin/sh
        exec utmpset -w tty5
        $

OPTIONS
       -w     wtmp.  Additionally  to the utmp file, write an empty record for
              line to the wtmp file.

EXIT CODES
       utmpset returns 111 on error, 1 on wrong usage, 0 in all other cases.
