     DISABLE(C)		      XENIX System V		    DISABLE(C)

     Name
	  disable - Turns off terminals and printers.

     Syntax
	  disable tty ...
	  disable [-c][-r[reason]] printers

     Description
	  For terminals, this program manipulates the /etc/ttys file
	  and signals init to disallow logins on a particular
	  terminal.  For printers, disable stops print requests from
	  being sent to the named printer.  The following options can
	  be used:

	  -c	      Cancels any requests that are currently
		      printing.

	  -r[reason]  Associates a reason with disabling the printer.
		      The reason applies to all printers listed up to
		      the next -r option.  If the -r option is not
		      present or the -r option is given without a
		      reason, then a default reason is used.  Reason
		      is reported by lpstat(C).

     Examples
	  In this example, a printer named linepr is disabled because
	  of a paper jam:

	       disable -r"paper jam" linepr

     Files
	  /dev/tty*

	  /etc/ttys

	  /usr/spool/lp/*
