Hi Randy,
It's ok.
Thanks for reply.
I have one doubt in this regard.
1) once we connected to the serial console we don't
want to login into the shell.
(without login into the shell we want to fire the
sysrq command like b, r m, etc.)
for this I am doing like
grabing the serial console then
doing ctrl+]
so that getting
now i want to give command like b, m ,r etc.
but it is not accepting my commands until I do
can you please explain me why like this behavior ?
Thanks
