Title: Serial Monitor
Post by: Justin on February 24, 2002, 12:05:21 AM

What is the most painless way to redirect console messages to serial ports?

I would like to have my snort logs go to a montior on serial port 1, my ipchains logs to a monitor on serial port 2 and my rsync logs to a monitor on serial port 3.

I have a regular monitor also hooked up so there is no need to monitor the boot sequence across any of the serial ports.

I have been reading for a while on this and figured there is probably a quick hack that someone has already figured out without breaking or going around any SME templates.
