Re: Lua, and accessing nodes in /dev/ (Lua in Linux)...

[Matthew Percival <matthew@...>]

G'Day,

	I think I have sort of worked out why I am not reading anything back:
it does not seem the script is sending anything in the first place.  If
I do `print (tty)', I get back `file (0x8051688)', so it seems OK at
that point, but if I wrap a print() around the write() call I get this:
		nil     Bad file descriptor     9

	I am trying to check the status of a GPS Modem, and the script will
only ever be run from Linux, so it sounds like you are doing something
very similar to what I am trying to do (which also suggests it does
work).  I tried copying your code (with minor changes for my setup), and
added a write at the end, but it returned the same error.
