utmpset(8)              OpenBSD 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
       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 /var/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.
