SYNOPSIS

       cyclades-serial-client (start | stop | restart | status) [devname]

DESCRIPTION

       For each physical port listed in cyclades-devices file, cyclades-serial-client controls the status of the
       corresponding cyclades-ser-cli interface.

OPTIONS

       cyclades-serial-client  must  be invoked with one of the (start, stop, restart or status), and optionally
       with a argument associated to a specific device.  In this case, the action spedified as the  option  will
       be performed only for this device.

       If  this  argument  was  not  supplied,  the action will be performed for all devices listed in cyclades-
       devices file. The mandatory options are:

       start  - Starts the cyclades-ser-cli program, using parameters supplied in the cyclades-devices  file. If
              this program is already running, a message will be displayed,  and  no  additional  copy  will  be
              started.

       stop   - Stops the cyclades-ser-cli program(s), by issuing a SIGTERM signal.

       restart
              - Simulates a hangup to cyclades-ser-cli program(s), by issuing a SIGUSR1 signal.

       status - Checks the status of cyclades-ser-cli programs(s).

       1  .  Start  all  devices:  cyclades-serial-client  start  Messages:  "Starting  /dev/ctty01  <==> pr3k:1
       interface" "Starting /dev/ctty02 <==> pr3k:2 interface"

       2 . Try to start them again: cyclades-serial-client start Messages: "cyclades-serial-client : /dev/ctty01
       already active" "cyclades-serial-client : /dev/ctty02 already active"

       3 . Stop only /dev/ctty01 device: cyclades-serial-client stop /dev/ctty01 Messages: "Stopping /dev/ctty01
       <==> pr3k:2 interface"

       4 . Checking  status:  cyclades-serial-client  status  Messages:  "/dev/ctty01  (rtelnet  at  pr3k:1)  is
       inactive" "/dev/ctty02 ( socket at pr3k:2) active, pid 2983"
