Background logging of /dev/ttyS0 output
Hey Guys,
Long story short I'm trying to figure out how to send minicom to the background to have it log the output from /dev/ttyS0 on boot up.
Starting it in rc.local with "&" doesn't seem to work - minicom stops logging. In fact, whenever you send minicom to the backgroup, it seems to stop logging. Works great otherwise.
I've looked into picocom and cu, however I can't seem to get them to correctly output the characters (the device its connected to uses 7 bit ASCII, but an 8 bit data path, I can't figure out how to configure that for cu and picocom).
Any suggestions would be appreciated... detailed suggestions would be excellent. This is my first foray into serial communications...
Relevant info:
CentOS 5.1 Virtual Machine with /dev/ttyS1 on the host connected to a virtual serial port (/dev/ttyS0) on the guest VM.
Connection specific info:
Baud: 1200
Data Bits: 8
Parity: None
Stop bits: 1
Flow control: Xon/Xoff
7 bit ASCII
Thanks!
