[comp.sys.apollo] Sending output to the SIO line on another node.

firby-james@YALE.ARPA (James Firby) (09/16/87)

I have two DN3000's running SR9.2.? and I want to be able to CATF ASCII files
from one to the SIO line on the other.  However, this doesn't work in the
straight forward manner of:

CATF file >//other_node/sys/node_data/dev/sio1

It says that it is an error to open a remote SIO line.

Any ideas on how I can make it happen without creating a process on the other
node?

Thanks.

Jim

You can't do this without employing a process on the remote node as your
agent.  I always do this sort of thing the same way you would on any
Unix system.  Something like:

    cat file | rsh remote-node 'cat >/dev/sio1'
