Redirect display to COM port
 
Hi all,
I've got a RH 7.3 server with no monitor. I want to redirect the con port to com1 port to use a Wyse terminal. So i have two questions :

1. How to do this ?
2. Is all the display will be redirect ?

Thx a lot.

To display your boot messages over the serial port, add this line to your boot loader:

Code:

console=ttyS0
Then, to actually login with the serial console, you need a line like this in your inittab:

Code:

s1:12345:respawn:/sbin/agetty -L ttyS0 9600 vt100
You may already have a similar line, in which case just uncomment the one you have.
