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
   accounting.  The runit(8) program doesn't include code  to  update  the
   utmp  file,  the  getty(8)  processes are handled the same as all other
   services.

   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.
