STARTSLIP(8) BSD System Manager's Manual STARTSLIP(8)NAMEstartslip - dial up and login to a slip server
SYNOPSISstartslip [-b baud] [-d] [-f pidfile] [-p pause] [-s string] device user
passwd
DESCRIPTION
Startslip opens the specified device.
Once carrier is asserted startslip attempts to login as the specified
user with the given password. If successful, it puts the device into the
slip line discipline. If carrier drops and a SIGHUP is sent to
startslip, it closes the device and attempts to repeat the dialup and lo-
gin sequence.
Available options:
-b baud Set the baudrate of device to baud.
-d Startslip prints out debugging information about what it is
trying to do.
-f pidfile Save the process id in pidfile.
-p pause Number of seconds to pause in parent before exiting.
-s string The optional string is written to device. For a dialup mo-
dem, the string is used to specify a dial sequence.
