Hree Wont work. The main problem here is that people keep using an "alternate" dirs for lock files like $_ttylocks = "/home/user/dosemu/lock" which cheats dosemu to think it uses the ser port exclusively, while it does not. For some reasons this always keeps being suggested here and no surprise this causes problems like the above one. In general I used to simply put the leavedos() calls in the appropriate places when such things are being done by people, but in this particular case this won't help so I am not sure what is the proper way of preventing that to be done (removing the $_ttylocks option entirely is not very good either). > > find /etc -type f -exec grep -l /dev/ttyS0 { } \; > That won't find the inittab entry. :) Surely, but you can use lsof instead, it should find. __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
