Hey guys, I thought of no better place than to ask the experts here at deb-users list. ;)
Anyways, I wanted to write a script that takes a "snapshot" of the current screen on the serial console. - i.e. I have a device connected through an RS-232 interface and I want to save the output into a text file and process it. - Ex. "Bytes Rcvd 32494830" -> I want to be able to use this number. Now comes several different questions. 1. Should I use a software like cutecom and script it? 2. Or should I use perl/python/tcl? Do they have packages that have direct access to the RS-232 port? 3. Does anyone have any experiences with this? I am currently running debian etch. Thanks again for all your help.
