In QNX4, how do we set-up a dumb terminal using the serial port?
|
| Solution |
Set up ser2 and ser3 to prompt for a terminal type, and exec() into login once the terminal
type is established:
tinit -c "termdef" -T ser2 ser3 &
Assuming ser1 has a VT100 terminal on it (hardwired), have termdef set up the tty and
TERM variable, then exec() into login, without prompting for terminal type:
tinit -c "termdef vt100" -T ser1 &
or
tinit -c "termdef -e" -T ser1 TERM=vt100 &
Command-line examples
Display the terminal type:
termdef -
or
echo $TERM
Change the terminal type to VT100:
export TERM=`termdef - vt100`
or
`termdef -s vt100`
Prompt the user to specify a new terminal type:
`termdef -s` |
