Removing terminals

Before you can remove a terminal, you must disable it with the disable(C) command:

1. Turn off the power to the terminal.

2. Log in as root at another terminal.
   

3. Use the disable command to disable the terminal:
   
   disable ttyname

   where ttyname is the name of the serial line to which the terminal is attached. For example:
   
   disable tty1a

   disables the terminal connected to serial line /dev/tty1a.

4. Disconnect the terminal from the system.
