The solution I found (for slip connections) was to kill -STOP faxgetty.pid so the call didn't hang up on connect: echo " stopping faxgetty - will restart after downing slip" kill -stop `ps -ax | grep faxgetty | grep -v grep | awk '{print $1}'` sleep 5 slattach -a -h -z -r '/usr/local/bin/sl-dial.script' -s 115200 /dev/cuaa5 Then restart faxgetty after I shutdown the slip link: echo "Restarting faxgetty in 5 seconds..." sleep 5 kill -cont `ps -ax | grep faxgetty | grep -v grep | awk '{print $1}'` Works well for me. > > I've seriously considered trying to yank out the `is this serial port > busy?' code from sio.c; would this stand a chance of working, or are there > other interdependencies that I've not considered?
