Hi all,
I got a bit of a curley one that I cant seem to find any answers.....
Im writing a shell script (or possibly a perl script... depending on how it
needed to be implimented) and im very much a novice at this stuff. What
this script is doing, is accessing a device hanging off the serial port of
a FreeBSD 3.4 box.
Im using cu to access the port, and I can issue the required commands on
the command line no dramas. What I want to do is write a script which will
excecute cu in the command line, issuing the needed lines of data and get
out. Here is an example of how I would be accessing the device.....
-----------
% cu -l /dev/cuaa1 -s 38400
ABCD1234<cr>
Hello, this is a sentence<ctrl z>
-----------
How do I issue the <cr> and the <ctrl Z> keyboard strokes to cu in a
script? Im pretty sure I can work out how to send the required commands and
text, but the keyboard strokes are bugging me.
Any help would be great.... Thanks
Chris
