39 | .Nd \&dm configuration file | |
40 | .Sh DESCRIPTION | |
41 | The | |
42 | .Xr dm.conf | |
43 | file | |
44 | is the configuration file for the | |
45 | .Xr \&dm 8 | |
46 | program. | |
47 | It consists of lines beginning with one of three keywords, ``badtty'', | |
48 | ``game'', and ``time''. All other lines are ignored. | |
49 | .Pp | |
50 | Any tty listed after the keyword ``badtty'' may not have games played on | |
51 | it. | |
52 | Entries consist of two white-space separated fields: the string | |
53 | ``badtty'' and the ttyname as returned by | |
54 | .Xr ttyname 3 . | |
55 | For example, | |
56 | to keep the uucp dialout, ``tty19'', from being used for games, the | |
57 | entry would be: | |
58 | .Bd -literal -offset indent | |
59 | badtty /dev/tty19 | |
60 | .Ed | |
61 | .Pp | |
62 | Any day/hour combination listed after the keyword ``time'' will disallow | |
63 | games during those hours. Entries consist of four white-space separated | |
64 | fields: the string ``time'', the unabbreviated day of the week and the | |
65 | beginning and ending time of a period of the day when games may not be | |
66 | played. The time fields are in a 0 based, 24-hour clock. For example, | |
67 | the following entry allows games playing before 8AM and after 5PM on | |
68 | Mondays. | |
69 | .Bd -literal -offset indent | |
70 | time Monday 8 17 | |
71 | .Ed | |
72 | .Pp | |
73 | Any game listed after the keyword ``game'' will set parameters for a specific | |
74 | game. Entries consist of five white-space separated fields: the keyword | |
75 | ``game'', the name of a game, the highest system load average at which the | |
76 | game may be played, the maximum users allowed if the game is to be played, | |
77 | and the priority at which the game is to be run. Any of these fields may | |
78 | start with a non-numeric character, resulting in no game limitation or | |
79 | priority based on that field. The game "default" controls the settings for | |
80 | any game not otherwise listed, and must be the last ``game'' entry in the | |
81 | file. Priorities may not be negative. For example, the following entries | |
82 | limits the game ``hack'' to running only when the system has 10 or less | |
83 | users and a load average of 5 or less; all other games may be run any time | |
84 | the system has 15 or less users. | |
