Hi,

I volunteer for a computer museum in Cambridge UK where we would much like to extend our mini-computer exhibit.   We want to set up a VT100 running RSTS/E for our visitors to use. As the system needs to start unattended I need it to boot up RSTS from power up.

I have installed Simh on a Raspberry Pi B and connected the VT100 to the serial port ttyAMA0.

While I can login to the Pi on the VT100 and boot the emulator manually, RSTS/E has a number of prompts within the boot dialogue (Date, Time etc) which need to be answered before it is possible for a User to login.  I have tried putting these responses in a Shell script, and while that 'works' insofar as the boot process completes, it doesn't return control to the terminal after the script ends.

Can anyone advise how to do it?
