[plug] Mgetty & INIT

[Simon Fryer]

Evening

I am afraid I don't have my linux box happy at the moment so I can't
check the correct syntax. I have a couple os suggestions though. 

kill -1 1 
to restart init and look for any errors dumped to the screen. 

Do a ps to make sure that init is actually running mgetty. Hook up
another machine (dumb term or PC running telix is ideal) to see what is 
being generated out of the serial port. If you are handy with a soldering 
iron, RS232 will piggyback to help with debuging it. Syntax looks correct but 
I don't have a man page for mgetty handy so I can not help there. 

Good luck.
