As an example, to configure Ctrl+p to open the power menu when using serial port 3, enter the following in the console server's
command shell:
config -s config.ports.port3.ctrlcode.power=16
killall -HUP portmanager
The first command sets the power menu command to listen for Ctrl+p. Decimal 16 is the character code sent when you press Ctrl+p
in the serial port session (see the control codes table immediately below).
The second command —killall -HUP portmanager — tells portmanager to reload the configuration so that the new control code will
take effect. Rebooting the device would also work.
There is a script to set serial control codes on a range of ports so that bulk port configuration can be performed more easily. For
example to set the power menu control code to CTRL-P (keycode 16) on ports 4 to 10 inclusive, enter the following at the command
line:
/etc/scripts/set-serial-control-codes 4 10 power 16
This sets the power menu control key to Ctrl+p.
NOTE: If you've not configured anything on a particular serial port in the included range, configuration for that port will be skipped.
