[Leaf-user] Receive logs via serial ports on Oxygen

[Munday, M. <Mer...@ma...>]

I'd like my Oxygen box to receive incoming logs from two other machines over
serial connections.  I can view the incoming data on both serial ports using
minicom, but I'm having trouble getting the data into a file. 

I can "cat /dev/ttyS0 >/var/log/ttyS0.log &" but the resulting file is a
mess with lots of weird spaces in it.  

I tried using logserial from
ftp://sunsite.unc.edu/pub/Linux/system/serial/logserial-0.3.tar.gz which
produces normal looking log files.  However, although it works fine on
either of the serial ports individually, I get a "Can't open /dev/ttySx"
error when I try to invoke it twice, even with the -b "daemonize" switch.

If someone could point me in the right direction on this I'd be grateful.
What's the best way to get data off multiple serial ports and into separate
files?

Thanks!
