Discover the program that use serial port (Sherlock Holmes Case)
Hi,
I received a server that use AIX 5.x.
This server was installed from a company that doesnt exist now, and they dont leave information about it.
I only know that they installed a program that recieve information from some tty in a special format and as it is a tty, with some baud rate, data bits, etc. After that the program resend the info to another server.
My Sherlock Holmes task is to find out what program do this task, and try to find out the special format this program use, and from which tty port.
Any clues to find out this info?
Thanks !!!

rfcomm_sppd
RFCOMM_SPPD(1) BSD General Commands Manual RFCOMM_SPPD(1)
NAME
rfcomm_sppd -- RFCOMM Serial Port Profile daemon
SYNOPSIS
rfcomm_sppd [-bhtS] -a address -c channel
DESCRIPTION
The rfcomm_sppd utility is a Serial Port Profile daemon. It can operate in two modes: client and server.
In client mode, rfcomm_sppd opens RFCOMM connection to the specified address server and channel. Once connection is established, the
rfcomm_sppd utility provides access to the server's remote serial port via stdin/stdout or via pts(4) interface if -t option was specified.
If the -S option is specified, rfcomm_sppd will operate in server mode and act as RFCOMM server, listening on ANY address and advertising a
virtual serial port via the sdpd(8) daemon. If -t options was specified, the server side of the virtual serial port is attached to a pseudo-
terminal. Otherwise the virtual serial port is attached to the stdin/stdout. rfcomm_sppd should be run as root in order to communicate with
sdpd(8) in this case.
The rfcomm_sppd utility opens both master and slave pseudo terminals. This is done to ensure that RFCOMM connection stays open until
rfcomm_sppd is terminated. The data received from the master pseudo terminal are sent over the RFCOMM connection. The data received from
the RFCOMM connection are written into master pseudo terminal. The application in its turn opens the slave pseudo terminal and operates on
it just like it would operate over the standard serial port.
The options are as follows:
-a address
In client mode, this required option specifies the address of the remote RFCOMM server. If this option is specified in server mode,
rfcomm_sppd will only accept connections from the Bluetooth device with address address. The address can be specified as BD_ADDR or
name. If name was specified then rfcomm_sppd utility will attempt to resolve the name via bt_gethostbyname(3).
-b Detach from the controlling terminal, i.e., run in background.
-c channel
In both client and server mode, this option specifies the RFCOMM channel to connect to or listen on. In server mode, the channel
should be a number between 1 and 30. If not specified, rfcomm_sppd will try to bind to ``wildcard'' RFCOMM channel number. The
actual RFCOMM channel will be obtained via getsockname(2) call and will be used to register Serial Port service with sdpd(8). In
client mode, the channel could either be a number between 1 and 30 or a service name. Supported service names are: DUN (for DialUp
Networking service), FAX (for Fax service), LAN (for LAN Access Using PPP service) and SP (for Serial Port service). If channel was
not specified then rfcomm_sppd utility will try to obtain RFCOMM channel for Serial Port service via Service Discovery Protocol from
the server.
-h Display usage message and exit.
-S Server mode; see DESCRIPTION.
-t Use slave pseudo tty. If not set stdin/stdout will be used. This option is required if -b option was specified.
FILES
/dev/pts/[num] slave pseudo terminals
EXIT STATUS
The rfcomm_sppd utility exits 0 on success, and >0 if an error occurs.
EXAMPLES
rfcomm_sppd -a 00:01:02:03:04:05 -c 1 -t
Will start the rfcomm_sppd utility and open RFCOMM connection to the server at 00:01:02:03:04:05 and channel 1. Once the connection has been
established, a pts(4) can be used to talk to the remote serial port on the server. rfcomm_sppd prints the name of the pts(4) to use on std-
out.
