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


You might check out the program called "minicom". It can handle the
port initialization for you.

Also, it can write out to a file - just make that a named pipe and you
can run your mysql or whatever script to load your data.
