Description:            forktty forks, disconnects from the controlling 
                        terminal, optionally connects to a different 
                        controlling terminal and runs a program.  E.g.
                          forktty --sane -l /dev/ttyS0 bash  
                        runs bash on ttyS0.  An included utility allows to 
                        defer execution until the DSR line is driven high 
                          getdsr ttyS0 -- forktty --sane -l ttyS0 login
                        or alternatively via blocking open()
                          forktty --sane --clocal -l /dev/ttyS0 -r login  
Keywords:               fork daemon controlling terminal setsid getty login
