All other lines are ignored. 23.Pp 24Any tty listed after the keyword ``badtty'' may not have games played on 25it. 26Entries consist of two white-space separated fields: the string 27``badtty'' and the ttyname as returned by 28.Xr ttyname 3 . 29For example, 30to keep the uucp dialout, ``tty19'', from being used for games, the 31entry would be: 32.Bd -literal -offset indent 33badtty /dev/tty19 34.Ed 35.Pp 36Any day/hour combination listed after the keyword ``time'' will disallow 37games during those hours. Entries consist of four white-space separated 38fields: the string ``time'', the unabbreviated day of the week and the 39beginning and ending time of a period of the day when games may not be 40played. The time fields are in a 0 based, 24-hour clock. For example, 41the following entry allows games playing before 8AM and after 5PM on 42Mondays. 43.Bd -literal -offset indent 44time Monday 8 17 45.Ed 46.Pp 47Any game listed after the keyword ``game'' will set parameters for a specific 48game. Entries consist of five white-space separated fields: the keyword 49``game'', the name of a game, the highest system load average at which the 50game may be played, the maximum users allowed if the game is to be played, 51and the priority at which the game is to be run. Any of these fields may 52start with a non-numeric character, resulting in no game limitation or 53priority based on that field. The game "default" controls the settings for 54any game not otherwise listed, and must be the last ``game'' entry in the 55file. Priorities may not be negative. For example, the following entries 56limits the game ``hack'' to running only when the system has 10 or less 57users and a load average of 5 or less; all other games may be run any time 58the system has 15 or less users. 59.Bd -literal -offset indent 60game hack 5 10 * 61game default * 15 * 62.Ed 63.Sh FILES 64.Bl -tag -width /etc/dm.conf -compact 65.It Pa /etc/dm.conf 66The 67.Xr \&dm 8 68configuration file. 69.El 70.Sh SEE ALSO 71.Xr setpriority 2 , 72.Xr ttyname 3 , 73.Xr dm 8 74
