First because each command you type closes the port after running and so it flushes buffers. I would suggest using shell parenthesis to group the commands Use stty to set the port to raw mode etc. Use 'echo' and 'dd' which is like 'cat' but much more configurable for buffer sizes something like: ( stty 9600 raw; echo 'request'; dd bs=1 count=10 >response.out) </dev/serialusb >&0 -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-c-programming" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
