Big Dec

Big dec needs to be started from the console after a power loss. The following script, when run from loki, should restart bigdec:

#!/bin/sh
PORT=/dev/ttyd2
(
stty 9600
echo "boot"
echo "boot"
) > $PORT < $PORT

should start bigdec rebooting.

Run this script. Wait a few minutes and low and behold, you should have a happy bigdec.

IF YOU DONT then it probably has severe file system problems then it may not come up and you might need to actually connect a console, but I think you should actually call me to actually do any fixes there as that can be dangerous (although not in an eaten by tigers sense).
