I am trying to do something that I can't quite get my head around; I
hope that somebody with more experience can help me.
This is what I try to do: I have a large number of serial ports attached
to one of my linux boxes - I use them as consoles for the other UNIXes,
which seems to work fine with minicom. I have set it up so I have a
number of screen sessions start up in detached mode, each running a
minicom connected to a serial port; this is not complicated, if a little
fiddly.
Minicom runs an initialisation script through 'expect' - the script
captures the log on prompt from the server at the other end, extracts
the server name and saves in a file; I use this to correlate the screen
sessions with server names.
What I want to achieve is the following:
1: I want to turn on logging in screen, but not until after minicom's
expect script has run - otherwise the server's output seems to get
caught in the screen log and not in the expect script. I have tried to
achieve this by getting the script to send a "^A:", but this just goes
straight to the serial line. Is there another way?
2: I also want to avoid logging the screen formatting codes - is there a
way to achieve this?
I suppose I could find a way around both issues, eventually, but it
would be nice not to have to.
