Need help with serial port
Hi,

I have a external board connected to my serial port. I need to execute "shutdown -r now" command when system boot up. When system boots up it requires a username ans password. Then I need to run my command. I can use rc script but that is rebooting system before it asks for username and password. The command should
1. first give username to the device
2. secondly, it should give password
3. finally it should give "shutdown -r now" command to the board.

This script can run on the host PC and need to log the botting and rebooting messages.

Is it possible to write script on host PC to do it. I am trying to send command as data over serial but its simply echoes on the board but does execute. Please help. __________________

iscc

iscc(7) 						 Miscellaneous Information Manual						   iscc(7)

NAME

       iscc - serial communications interface

SYNOPSIS

       controller  iscc0  at  isa0

DESCRIPTION

       An  onboard  Zilog  8530  DUART	provides  AXPvme-based Single Board Computers with console (CON) and auxiliary (AUX) serial communications
       ports.  Both serial communications ports can operate at baud rates from B50 to B38400,  excluding B134 (see tty(7)).

       On AXPvme Single Board Computers configured with a graphics head as the system console, the CON serial communications port (/dev/tty01)	is
       available for use by application programs as an additional communications port.

       In  the	absence  of a graphics head, the CON serial communications port (/dev/console) becomes the system console. When used as the serial
       system console, the CON serial communications port always operates at 9600 BPS, 8-bits, and no parity.

       Regardless of system console, the AUX serial communications port (/dev/tty00) is always available for use by application programs.

RESTRICTIONS

       Data communications equipment attached to the CON serial communications port must be set to 9600 BPS, 8-bits, no parity when configured	as
       the serial system console. The iscc terminal driver enforces this restriction.

       No modem control is supported for either the CON or AUX serial communications ports.

FILES

       console terminal local terminal local terminal
