You don!t want to to have brltty running more than once without using different options for each one so that each one will control a different braille device. Having more than one brltty process try to control the same braille device can cause a lot of confusion, and usually means that the braille device will seem to not be working at all.
Sent from Nokia Mobile -original message- Subject: Re: [BRLTTY] Brltty install and Authentication error when calling brailapitest program From: Siju Samuel <[email protected]> Date: 2013-06-21 17:45 It Looks like I did not run the command "brltty -d /dev/pts/3 -bauto" after "make install". Right now the authentication is going through. But If I run '"brttly" again, it adds one more brttly job when checked with ps -A | grep brttly'. From the documentation I understood, inorder to invoke brtlyapi_methods there will be having server program running. Can you please mention which Job it is ? And with multiple 'brttly' command will it run that many server attached to many socket.?
