Hey guys,
Is there any process more aggravating than trying to figure out what
serial port a modem is on. I can hear it now: "what's a modem?"
Children...
We have lspci that shows us all the PCI bus stuff for the patrons of
that bus. We have lsscsi to show things on the SCSI channels. We have
lsusb for those interfaces. How about a lstty?
In my search, I came across this paragraph from a much longer discussion:
"In The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, Douglas Adams mentions an
extremely dull planet, inhabited by a bunch of depressed humans and a
certain breed of animals with sharp teeth which communicate with the
humans by biting them very hard in the thighs. This is strikingly
similar to UNIX, in which the kernel communicates with processes by
sending paralyzing or deadly signals to them. Processes may intercept
some of the signals, and try to adapt to the situation, but most of them
don't."
My life is like that right now.
Howard
