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 op-
     tionally 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 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.
