       server

       cons.saver TTY

DESCRIPTION
       Invoke this helper program with the Ctrl-o key combination to save and
       restore the user session on the screen.

OPTIONS
       cons.saver takes only one argument, the TTY NAME from which the system
       will save and restore.

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.
