I have 4 digi etherlite boards that allow Wyse and VT100 terminals to connect to our network (stop laughing)
We are switching from an older version of redhat where we have these running to: Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 6.5 (Santiago)
I finally got them working and copied the tty settings from the old machine to a file and then loaded them in to the new machine:
Saved via:
Then loaded on new machine with
and this works fine.
The problem is that on the old machine I turned everything on via inittab (example below)
I have no idea how to do this under the new version.
Like I said I have it working but it's not right
in my /etc/rc.d/rc.local i have things like this:
So my question is:
a) how do i save my settings so i don't have to load them each time?
b) how do i do something similiar to inittab to specify which tty's I want agetty/mgetty running on?
Thanks!

In bash, you can do something like this:
#!/bin/bash
echo -n "What is your name? " > /dev/tty
read thename < /dev/tty
How can I do the same in python?
I have a python script that has the following content:
#!/usr/bin/python2.7
import getpass

There's no Vim in AIX (6 and 7), but Vi is natively available.
I want to save my configuration for Vi like `set nu` to number lines in files.

Please help me with that. (4 Replies)
I am not sure if I am using the correct terminology but somehow my tty keeps changing on me. The man pages are confusing to me on what exactly the tty is. This is what I see when I run the tty command. Could anyone explain why my tty keeps changing?

I've written some tools that don't like the default font setting that come up with the Common Desktop Environment. (The text on the buttons looks like the dingbat character set.) The work around is to go into the style manager and set the font to anything other than 'medium' which is the default.... (2 Replies)
