Auto sending text files from SCO box to a PC via serial cable
I have an SCO system with several PC's hooked up via ProComm and serial cabling (no Ethernet). I want to occasionally transfer a small text file from the UNIX system to a specific PC without the PC operator having to do anything (she may be out to lunch or doing other work during the transfer)

What is a UNIX command (or program) that might do this transfer? (I assume we can use cron to run this command or program every few minutes).

mkfs.bfs

MKFS.BFS(8)						       System Administration						       MKFS.BFS(8)

NAME

       mkfs.bfs - make an SCO bfs filesystem

SYNOPSIS

       mkfs.bfs [options] device [block-count]

DESCRIPTION

       mkfs.bfs creates an SCO bfs filesystem on a block device (usually a disk partition or a file accessed via the loop device).

       The block-count parameter is the desired size of the filesystem, in blocks.  If nothing is specified, the entire partition will be used.

OPTIONS

       -N, --inodes number
	      Specify  the  desired  number  of  inodes (at most 512).	If nothing is specified, some default number in the range 48-512 is picked
	      depending on the size of the partition.

       -V, --vname label
	      Specify the volume label.  I have no idea if/where this is used.

       -F, --fname name
	      Specify the filesystem name.  I have no idea if/where this is used.

       -v, --verbose
	      Explain what is being done.

       -c     This option is silently ignored.

       -l     This option is silently ignored.

       -h, --help
	      Display help text and exit.

       -V, --version
	      Display version information and exit.  Option -V only works as --version when it is the only option.

EXIT CODES

       The exit code returned by mkfs.bfs is 0 when all went well, and 1 when something went wrong.

SEE ALSO

       mkfs(8)

AVAILABILITY

       The mkfs.bfs command is part of the util-linux package and is available from https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/util-linux/.
