Hi all, I hope this is possible. I have a server, with a network switch attached to the serial port, and I want to rescan the serial port (/dev/tty) to see if it picks it up? I'd prefer not to reboot the server if at all possible. dmesg reports ttyS0 as the active port: [root at zabackup01 ~]# dmesg |grep tty Bootdata ok (command line is ro root=/dev/System/root rhgb quiet xencons=tty6) Kernel command line: ro root=/dev/System/root rhgb quiet xencons=tty6 WARNING: Failed to register Xen virtual console driver as 'tty1' serial8250: ttyS0 at I/O 0x3f8 (irq = 4) is a 16550A 00:06: ttyS0 at I/O 0x3f8 (irq = 4) is a 16550A ttyS0: 1 input overrun(s) ttyS0: 1 input overrun(s) running screen /dev/ttyS0 doesn't show up anything, and I should at least get the switch's login prompt. -- Kind Regards Rudi Ahlers
