we have a phone system at my kids school that spits out
call records. i want to use kermit to capture them for analysis.
this works interactively:
log session
set input echo off
set modem type none
set line /dev/ttyS0
set carrier-watch off
set speed 9600
connect
i can then see the records on the screen and they do get logged to a file.
what i -really- want to do is to make this a weekly cron job that rotates
or renames the log file, mails it off, etc.
to the above:
i removed the connect
i added the line 'set background on'
i added '#!/usr/local/bin/kermit' as the first line
but it is not running in the background as expected. i am sure the mistake
is elementary, and i will feel like a moron when i find it, but i have been
messing with this for over a week now, looking at the scripts in the
library,
etc., and i am thoroughly confused.
any help appreciated. thanks in advance
