Thinking that was all it took, I stopped the SerialTerminalSupport service with this command (run all these commands as superuser): /usr/libexec/serial/SerialTerminalSupport stopAnd tried to launch the screen program to open a connection via the serial port with screen /dev/cu.serial.
The syntax for launching it remains the same, though, just the location has changed. Leopard Server moved the SerialTerminalSupport shell script to /usr » libexec » serial. Through some digging, I found the solution to the problem and can now access the router via the serial port at any time, even from my iPhone (through Terminal, of course)! Previous hints targeted at Tiger Server and below, however, do not work any more as the serial support files are no longer found in /System » Library » StartupItems/. And, in case you want to stop a command you've input, you can do that by tapping the window (if it isn't already selected) and holding down the "control" key and hitting "c." Or, if you want to repeat a command, simply use the up arrow key to cycle through previously used commands and, when you see the one you want, press "return."ĭon't worry if you make a mistake in your command pathways: You'll just get a message back saying something along the lines of, "No such file or directory exists.Having a pressing need to access a Cisco router via the console cable, and not having a PC with a serial port laying around anywhere, I decided to look into how to access the serial port on an Xserve that's running Leopard Server. If you need to get to your Terminal's settings, hold down the command key while tapping the comma button.
Note that the file pathway is also fundamental here. Open -a "APP NAME" Open a text-based file using the text editor: Open Open a file using an application you specify:Īgain, you'll need the file pathway to use this command. In either case, hit the spacebar following the app name and then the command would take hold. Even though the latter appears to only copy the actual file name, it actually captures the full pathway. To do so, you can either drag the file to the Terminal window to add to the line, or right click the file and select "Copy " and then use the Command+V shortcut to paste it into the Terminal. Open -a "APPLICATION NAME" Open a file using the default application:įor this, you'll have to know the command pathway for the file you want to access. Or, if the application has a space in its name: If you input this exact phrasing, Terminal will open your Spotify app.
