Here is a rough Unidata routine that will wait for input and act on it
every 3 seconds. Hope this helps.
00001: *-----------------------------------------------
00002: PROMPT ""
00003: LOOP WHILE 1
00004: IF SYSTEM(14) THEN
00005: LGTH=SYSTEM(14)
00006: INPUT B,LGTH
00007: PRINT "B = ":B
00008: *---- DO SOMETHING WITH B ----*
00009: END
00010: SLEEP 3
00011: REPEAT
00012: END

Subject: [U2] Input from a TTY on an AIX box
Howdy all!
We're doing a proof of concept where we're connecting a serial scanner
to a wireless termserver and we want to get the input from the scanner
into our U2-based software.
We've got the tty defined and we can open the port. The stickler is in
writing a routine (in BASIC preferably, but unix script would be okay
too) that will monitor the open tty and input any data whenever
something is scanned at the scanner.
Has anyone done anything similar that could point me in a direction?
Thanks!!
Brian
