I haven't really gone over it with a fine-toothed comb though. Typos etc. are still up to to you. :) Of course, the whole thing depends on how tms_daemon behaves, but the startup script looks OK. Can you explain in a bit more detail exactly what the second part (the serial-network data logger) needs to do? I've written similar daemons in C but not PHP--when I've needed to get something like that going with a PHP script, I've used ser2net (which I linked to in an earlier post) and been quite happy. Maybe you don't even have to do the hard work yourself (or buy extra hardware to do it for you).
