Reindl, please understand I have a purely technical issue I'm trying to get an answer to. We all know you're a smart guy. So perhaps you could help by staying with the topic. Thanks.

Re: [CentOS] Serial Console Config in 6.5

According to the comments in /etc/init/serial.conf you shouldn't have a /etc/init/ttyS0.conf or do anything to /etc/securetty. This is all handled automatically. You just add 'console=tty0 console=ttySX,YZ' to the kernel line in grub and that's it. I did it like this a couple of days ago on 6.5. Works as advertised for me but I have never used a serial console before. -Michael

Everybody else, my situation and query stand as they are. Any solutions? Thanks.

Log rolling with a daemon
by Larry Martell 22 Dec '13

22 Dec '13

I'm looking for advice or suggestions for rolling log files with a daemon. I have a python script that I daemonized with http://www.jejik.com/articles/2007/02/a_simple_unix_linux_daemon_in_python/. Before I daemonized it it was run from a bash script that invoked the underlying python script. It ran the python script, waited for it to complete and then it slept for 5 seconds and ran it again. This was in a infinite loop. In between each invocation it checked the log file and if it was over 10MB it renamed it and then the next invocation started with a new empty log. Since each invocation was a separate run this worked fine. But now the daemonized python script doesn't exit - the same log file is attached to it forever. So my renaming of the file does nothing - the i node doesn't change and it's still logging to the same large file. Anyone have any ideas how I can achieve this sort of log rolling in this situation? TIA! -lrry

monitor config in xorg.conf
by ken 22 Dec '13

22 Dec '13

What's the smoothest way to change the monitor on a system? I've done this before and, aside from the initial cold boot (after unplugging the old monitor and plugging in the new one), it also took restarting X (gnome) several times to get the (new) monitor tuned correctly. The "new" (actually a bit old) monitor is an Acer P191W d. It is a 19-inch, LCD flat-screen. Other specs: Aspect Ratio 16:10, Native Resolution 1440 x 900 at 75 Hz Pixel Pitch 0.284 mm Does anyone have an xorg.conf entry for this monitor and/or suggestions as to what a workable (or optimal) xorg.conf entry might be? Thanks much.

And then there was one (browser)
by Robert Arkiletian 21 Dec '13

About 6 months has passed since the last working version of Opera (12.16) for Linux was released. Opera 18 (Win+Mac only) is now based on Chromium so I'm not holding my breath for it to work with C6 even if it is ever released. Chrome/Chromium is pretty much history too (libs too old). So Firefox is the only game in town. Even lesser knowns like Midori won't work either. Considering the amount of time left in the C6 support cycle, one would have thought TUV would have worked with Google to find a solution but I haven't heard a peep. How can XP, an ancient OS going EOL in a few months, still be supported for the latest Chromium but C6 not? Does anyone know of secret plans to eventually support Chrome/Chromium on C6? (crossing fingers)

TCP port to TTY/Serial Port?
by Joseph Spenner 20 Dec '13

20 Dec '13

Hello, I'm trying to configure my system such that I have a TCP port listening which will send all data it receives to a serial port. ie: tcp/2112 --> /dev/ttyS0 My goal would be to be able to: Use netcat to create the listen and redirect to a serial port: $ nc -l 2112 > /dev/ttyS0 Then in another window, run minicom at /dev/ttyS0 Then in a 3rd window, $ telnet localhost 2112 "Type things, hello world" But, I can never get the text to show up in the minicom window. I read different variations on the netcat command, including: $ nc -l 2112 <> /dev/ttyS0 or $ nc -l 2112 > /dev/ttyS0 < /dev/ttyS0 But none seem to do the trick. Anyone have any ideas on what I'm missing here? Any help would be great. Thanks! If life gives you lemons, keep them-- because hey.. free lemons.
