That is probably because your system is already running /sbin/getty > http://frank.harvard.edu/~coldwell/answering_machine/ This talks about Red Hat 7.3, that's about 10 years old. Perhaps there are more up-to-date instructions for what you want to do elsewhere? Alternatively, it's all unix, and the steps & principles are the same today, it's just the details that may be different, so you have to be a bit adaptable :-) > say i need to put S0:345:respawn:/sbin/vgetty ttyS0 in /etc/inittab but > ubuntu 12.10 doesn't user inittab now it use upstart so how do i do this? > Any pointers? $ man upstart which gives you the man page for init, and says you can read about how to configure init in init(5) $ man 5 init which tells you about scripts in /etc/init/ $ cd /etc/init $ grep tty * which tells you about a series of files tty1.conf tty2.conf and so on. These run the individual getty processes on each port. Without actually trying anything :-) I'd guess that you might need a ttyUSB0.conf file, pointing to the command that you want to have run on that port. -jim _______________________________________________ Linux-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.canterbury.ac.nz/mailman/listinfo/linux-users
