OWFS doesn't care that the adapter was removed and then reconnected, but the operating system or adapter might. 1. owserver -- no problem. Whatever owserver that appears on the requested port will be used, even after being stopped and started. 2. passive adapter -- probably quite happy. I don't have one to test, but the adapter has no real state information and the port settings shouldn't be altered. 3. usb adapters -- a problem with the OS/libusb with the "hotplugging" recognition that the adapter was removed -- it closes the connection. It's probably fixable (reopen the device if found closed) but there may be some problems if another process is intentionally closing the port. 4. serial 9097U -- I think we lose state information in the adapter. Probably running DS2480_detect again would fix it. So one technique: 1. Each physical port (serial, usb) gets an owserver process. 2. Your main owserver connects to all the individual owservers. 3. owtcl connects to the main owserver. 4. An intermittent process scans the individual owservers, and restarts the broken ones (which reconnects with the physical ports if possible).
