Listmates,

A linux question. I have a phone system that will output call logs through an rs-232 cable. I would like to write a script that will read the data from the serial port and input it into a mysql table.

cat /dev/ttyS_ | data_storing_program


Thanks Theo, and Mr. fascism,

I will look at the python interface and definitely see if I can make the cat script work.

Another question, If I write a small script and "sleep" for 30 seconds or so during the loop to cut down on racing the loop, will that have any unintended consequences I should look out for?
