ttysrv - connect to a serial port and log output
SYNOPSIS
ttysrv [-o option] [-s sock] [-l log] -t tty [-b baud] [-p parity] [-w wordsize] [-i pidfile]
DESCRIPTION
ttysrv is the backend for rconsole. It connects to the serial port, handles the log file and waits for connections from rconsole to view
what's happening on the serial console.
OPTIONS -t tty Specify which device to connect to.
-s sock
The name of the socket to listen for connections from rconsole on.
-o option
Specify any ttyios options to open the port with. Currently only nolocal is supported.
-l log The logfile to write to. If not set then no log is kept.
-b baud
Set the baud rate to talk to the port at. Defaults to 9600.
-p parity
Set the parity for the serial port. Defaults to none.
-w wordsize
Set the word size for the serial port. Defaults to 8 bits.
-i pidfile
The file to write the pid of ttysrv to. If not specified no such file is written.

startsrv - invoke ttysrv for a particular host.
SYNOPSIS
startsrv host
DESCRIPTION
startsrv fires up ttysrv for a given host. It will kill any already running instance for that host, then read /etc/remote-
tty/opt/<host>.srv for any options to pass to ttysrv (defaulting to those that set 9600,8n1), /etc/remote-tty/prot/<host>.sock for the per-
missions the socket should be set to (default 660), /etc/remote-tty/owner/<host>.sock for the owner of the socket (default rttymgr:dialout)
and /etc/remote-tty/prot/<host>.log for the permissions of the logfile (default 640).
The device node used is /etc/remote-tty/dev/<host>. This will normally be a symlink to the correct file in /dev.
ttysrv is configured to log to /var/log/remote-tty/<host>/<host>, with a pidfile at /var/run/remote-tty/pid/<host> and the socket at
/var/run/remote-tty/sock/<host>.
