I use gnu 'screen' extensively on my Rasbperry Pi VAX setups to do just that. Works a charm, and you can detach the session at any time and it will keep buffering. Right now I recommend this as the best way to run SimH headless and without a need for a perpetual terminal. I'm hoping something better might come along that doesn't require additional software, though. -- Mark Benson http://DECtec.info Twitter: @DECtecInfo HECnet: STAR69::MARK Online Resource & Mailing List for DEC Enthusiasts. _______________________________________________ Simh mailing list [email protected] http://mailman.trailing-edge.com/mailman/listinfo/simh
