I need a user to be able to run a shell script to disable a serial
line for dial out.
This is due to the fact that the comm prog we are using DOES NOT
support ungetty on SCO 2.2.
I CAN NOT use cu or uucp for transfer of files to this particular
location.
So, in order for me to be able to run this comm prog (Blast), I
must first disable the line or I get an error (comm port in use).
Then after transfer is made, I need this script to re-enable the
line.
In normal everyday operation this line is both dial-in and dial-out.
If anyone can help me do this without having to become root, I
would greatly appreciate the help.
Also, when I tried to invoke ungetty from the script before
calling in my comm prog, the getty refused to be suspended and
upon trying to dial-out afterwards the message "DIALOUT is on
tty1A" was produced.
Thanks again for any suggestions.
