I am trying to invoke the crash utility through one of the linux startup scripts. crash -i command.txt vmlinux vmcore But this gives an error /dev/tty no such device or address. The tty is /dev/console Once the linux box boots up and i login and use the same crash command as above it works correctly The tty of the login shell is /dev/ttyS0 Any pointers on solving the error "/dev/tty no such device or address" Thanks

As a followup.. If I'm running crash, and now I want to 'source' a file of commands.. (i.e. like the shells "." command).. is there anyway to do this? - jim
