NAME
       cons.saver - general-purpose Linux console screen save and restore server

SYNOPSIS
       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 priv-
       iledged 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.
