My telephone has an answering service which beeps if I have messages when I pick up the receiver. This is the same phone I use for the computer. If I forget to check the line, or if there is a time out disconnect, and there is a message(hence a beep beep beep) the scripts setoff by PON will not run correctly. Stopping PON is difficult because a normal KILL is to slow. PON will have already stopped because of the carrier detect falure, but will come back in little while with a different PID. Kill -9 works at stopping PON, but does not release the LOCK on ttyS1. I release the Lock by hand or sometimes by starting minicom which does it for me. This is all kind of a pain in the butt. There are two solutions to this problem that I can think of. I am not sure how to do either, and would appreciate help in learning. If possible please tell me both solutions as this will increase my knowledge. Solution A: Find a way of killing the PID that also releases the lock Solution B: Edit the PON scripts so that they pause until the beeps are done, and there is a clear line.
Any help is as always greatly appreciated. Thankyou Tommy -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] . Trouble? e-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
