sorry could not find a pty resource busy

Sam De Decker

Hi,

When I want to do a screen /dev/tty.SLAB_USBtoUART 115200 in terminal i get a 'resource busy', any idea how to fix this?

Tx,
Sam

Looks like that you just can make one connection to a /dev/tty... If you try to do more you get the busy message.

Try to add the option:

      -d -r   Reattach a session and if necessary detach it first.

ex: screen -d -r /dev/tty.SLAB_USBtoUART 115200
Check out more options with man screen

I checked under Linux Mint. Are you using OSX?
