RE: [coldsync-hackers] Coldsync install on Linux

["Brian Johnson" <bjohnson@jecinc.on.ca>]

There's got to be some system set up that I'm missing

It works when I run coldsync from the command line, but inittab doesn't even
start an entry in the log file (with dsync:5 and dmisc:5)

When I hit the hotsync button, nothing happens in the log file and the Palm
times out.

	The main difference I see between Brian's and Wojtek's
versions is the order of the arguments. This shouldn't matter, but as
a matter of style I suggest putting "-md ttyS1" at the end.
	(This is because it might be useful at some point to have
mode-specific options. Currently there are no global options that
might be confused with mode-specific ones, but if there ever are, the
obvious way to handle them will be to declare that anything before -md
is a global option, and anything after -md is mode-specific.)

	You (Brian) may also want to turn on debugging. Try "-dsync:5
-dmisc:5" for starters. The debugging messages should go to
/var/log/palm . These should include a summary of the options ColdSync
thinks it's been given (look for "Options:" at the beginning of the
line). In daemon mode, it'll also print the port it thinks it should
be syncing on (look for "Port specified on command line").
	This will hopefully provide some clues.
