Here's what I use for a serial console. I have an entry in
/etc/inittab:
6:2345:respawn:/usr/bin/openvt -c 6 -w -- /usr/bin/minicom -o -c on serial-console
and then in /etc/minicom, I have a file called minirc.serial-console
that contains:
# Machine-generated file - use "minicom -s" to change parameters.
pr port /dev/ttyS0
pu baudrate 9600
pu bits 8
pu parity N
pu stopbits 1
pu rtscts No
pu minit
pu mreset
pu mdialpre
pu mdialsuf
pu mdialpre2
pu mdialsuf2
pu mdialpre3
pu mdialsuf3
pu mconnect
pu mnocon1
pu mnocon2
pu mnocon3
pu mnocon4
pu mhangup
pu mdialcan
I created the serial-console "profile" (or whatever). Probably by
starting minicom, changing parameters and then saving the config.
The inittab entry gives me a "virtual console" on Alt-F6 for the
machine I am monitoring by way of the serial console. This was
screwing me up for a while, because when I wanted to reboot the other
machine, I was pressing Ctl-Alt-Del on the serial console and
rebooting my desktop box instead! Oops!
