.SH NAME
cons.saver \- general-purpose Linux console screen save and restore server
.SH SYNOPSIS
.nf
.fam C
cons.saver \fITTY\fP
.fam T
.fi
.SH DESCRIPTION
.TP
Invoke this helper program with the Ctrl-o key combination to save and restore the user session on the screen.
.SH OPTIONS
cons.saver takes only one argument, the \fITTY\fP \fINAME\fP from which the system will save and restore.
.SH SECURITY
Cons.saver does not need to be invoked by root. It only needs read and write access to /dev/vcsa*, which is a priviledged operation. You should create an unprivileged user, make cons.saver setuid to that user, and assure that all the vcsa* are owned by that user too.
