Hi all,
I've inadvertently issued a command:
echo hello > /dev/lat/123
without first connecting port 123 to a terminal-server port.
i.e. I forgot to do the
/usr/sbin/latcp -A -p123 -Hservername -Rport_N
The echo command is hanging uninterruptably, and
seems to be preventing further (previously successful)
commands like
echo hello > /dev/lat/456
where I've previously done
/usr/sbin/latcp -A -p456 -Hanother_servername -Rport_N
These commands also hang, but recover when I
/usr/sbin/latcp -D -p456
They again hang if I redo the
/usr/sbin/latcp -A -p456 -Hanother_servername -Rport_N
and repeat the
echo hello > /dev/lat/456
However if I attempt the same deletion of the p123 port,
I get:
Port 123 is not an application or outgoing port
If I attempt to create it, I get:
Port 123 is in use.
Can I get out of this without rebooting?
Cheers,
Terry.
