Now in doing so we are having to run it with root user as the /dev/ttys0 is having access to root only. Should we change the permission of the /dev/ttys0 so that other user can open it ? The basic problem is that this script needs to run continuously in the background. But the script is dying after a few days and the system is not getting the proper data from the serial port. We tried to run the script from the inittab with respawn. Our thinking was that the script will be restarted as soon as it dies. But doing this resulted in having several instances of the script running in the system and eventually the system was getting out of resources. We are yet to get a solution for this. Any help in this direction please ?
