Hello,
I'm trying to turn an old pc into a serial console. I can perfectly get
a login on the other end of the line with "cu -l cuaa0", but I would
like to have this command started automatically at boot, so the users
don't need to be educated about cu :-). So I put the following in
/etc/ttys:
ttyv0 "/usr/bin/cu -l cuaa0" vt100 on secure
But this gives me the following error when restarting init:
init: getty repeating too quickly on port /dev/ttyv0, sleeping 30 secs
Apparently cu can not be started directly from /etc/ttys, can it? How
else should I accomplish this?
