WLOGIN(1)

NAME
wlogin - make windows look like login terminals

SYNOPSIS
wlogin

DESCRIPTION
wlogin(1) runs login(1), waits for the login shell to terminate, and updates the utmp and wtmp files accordingly. This allows the use of windows, such as those produced by MGR to be used as fake login terminals.

There are two ways to start wlogin(1). The first is to set the envionment variable SHELL to `wlogin' before the window manager is invoked; this means that any window which is started will be a terminal window. The other is to run wlogin(1) from the normal shell in the window (often with the use of the exec command built into most shells).

FILES

/etc/utmp
    List of logged on users.

/var/adm/wtmp
    Login records.

SEE ALSO
login(1), mgr(1), utmp(5)
