Hi all, I've got a perl script that takes text input from our switchboard and feeds a call logging database.
Currently, I have a BASH script that calls kermit to control the serial port and pipe the output to my perl script (shown below). However, this causes admin problems - especially the kermit process - when having to restart etc. What's the best way to do the whole process in my perl script? I will need to lock the port (create lock file LCK..ttyS0) - no problem. I will then need to configure the port settings and then open the port for input so that I can read from it. __cmsrun__ #!/bin/bash #cmsrun - starts the call logging process cd /home/cms/data cat cms.log >>cms.full cat /dev/null >cms.log #kermit cms.script >cms.out 2>&1 kermit /home/cms/bin/cms.script 2>&1|/home/cms/bin/cmsctrl Donc 2>cms.err >cms.out __END__ __cms.script__ set port /dev/ttyS0 set speed 9600 set carrier-watch off set parity none set flow-control xon/xoff log session cms.log c __END__ -- Gary Stainburn This email does not contain private or confidential material as it may be snooped on by interested government parties for unknown and undisclosed purposes - Regulation of Investigatory Powers Act, 2000 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
