Cool posting about devc-ditto   
Hi all,

There's a new SRR article by guest author Xiaodan Tang on devc-ditto.  
Kudos to Xiaodan for making such a useful utility!

Re: Cool posting about devc-ditto   
So here are some ideas I had that could still be done.

qtalk obviously has a few issues - maybe we would still do a 'ditto' util, that makes it more convenient.

For example...

ditto /dev/con1 could automatically open /dev/con1.ditto, if present

ditto handle the old ditto options...
$ use ditto
ditto [options]* [path-to-device]

Options:
 -c command_char  Enter command mode on this character (hex value).
          (Default is ^E)
 -f               Follow "active" console.
 -k               Enable local keyboard.
 -q               Quiet operation; don't notify target being watched.
 -n nid           Node to ditto
 -t ttyno         TTY to ditto

Following the 'active' console would be nice, but would be pretty hard.  However you could auto switch on 'input' maybe.


cheers,

Colin

Re: Cool posting about devc-ditto   
Devc-ditto ... very close to old qnx4 ditto. Well done!

But now I am struggling with "ditto-ing" real console (/dev/con2) from telnet session.

I have compiled devc-ditto (on QNX6.4 alpha), started it, mounted ditto on /dev/con2.

Using qtalk from telnet session I can "interact" with /dev/con2 (through /dev/con2.ditto), but the output seems "messy" 
- seems like CR/LF problem. Output moves to next line, but doesn't move to its beginning.

Any ideas?

Thanks, PKY

Once in qtalk (to /dev/con2.ditto), do a:

	stty raw </dev/con2

This should give you better output.

The look in qtalk is exactly the same even with "stty raw </dev/con2".
After issuing this command the output on "original" /dev/con2 gets "spoiled" in the same way as in qtalk. After issuing 
"stty edit </dev/con2" output on real console gets repaired, nothing changes in qtalk.

Anything else to try?

Thanks, PKY

RE: RE: Cool posting about devc-ditto   
Did you type the command WITHIN the qtalk (not from some other terminal,
but inside qtalk) ?

Yes, I typed the command within the qtalk.
