Date: 9 Apr 1997 12:53:11 GMT Organization: Hebrew University, Jerusalem Lines: 29 Message-ID: <5ig3fn$81s@news.huji.ac.il> NNTP-Posting-Host: cs4.cs.huji.ac.il X-Newsreader: TIN [version 1.2 PL2] Xref: euryale.cc.adfa.oz.au comp.unix.bsd.bsdi.misc:6616 Please help me with a new feature in BSDI 3.0. In the BSDI Internet Server 3.0 Installation Guide and Release Notes, section "What's New in BSD/OS 3.0", page 4, in the bottom, there is written: ``The break key can be used on serial consoles in a manner analogous to Control-Alt-Delete on the console''. I RTFMed a lot, trying to find out how to do it, tried things like `stty -brkint', and failed. Please tell me how to do it! The serial line entry in /dev/ttys is: tty01 "/usr/libexec/getty std.9600" unknown on secure I'm connecting to it using the command `tip tty00' from another BSDI machine, which is connected to the first one with an RS-232(7) serial cable. I can work OK, I can send all the signals I like, even break (``~#'' (Tilde, Hash) in tip), but break doesn't work like Ctrl-Alt-Del. Sincere big thank you in advance, Vadik. -- Vadim Vygonets * vadik@cs.huji.ac.il * vadik@debian.org * Unix admin If you think C++ is not overly complicated, just what is a protected abstract virtual base pure virtual private destructor, and when was the last time you needed one? -- Tom Cargil, C++ Journal, Fall 1990.
