Help with Linux application command syntax

Posted by jjscott13 on 2011/11/21 1:14:18

I am new to Linux so please bare with me.

I need to log all communications between an application and the serial port on the same system.

I did a little research and found an application called Interceptty that looks like it will do the trick. However, I'm having issues determining the proper sytax.

Here is a link to the Interceptty webpage...http://www.suspectclass.com/sgifford/interceptty/interceptty.html

Here is the command that I thought would work...
"Interceptty /dev/ttyS0 -o test.txt". It does execute, holds on the command line and creates the output file, but nothing gets logged to the file. I've tried several command line variations to no avail. I also sent an email to the author, but got a bounceback.

Like I said, I'm new to Linux so I'm sure this will probably be easy one for you guys.


Thanks!
