    1515 cereal provides a framework to easily set up and maintain automated, 
    1616 timestamped logs of serial lines, while simultaneously allowing end 
    17  user access to them.  cereal can control an arbitrary number of 
    18  independently monitored and logged lines. 
     17 user access to them.  This is probably most useful for providing 
     18 automated, logged access to remote serial consoles.   
    1919 . 
    20  cereal uses screen as the terminal interface to the serial lines. 
    21  cereal attaches a screen session to a specified serial terminal, and 
    22  then monitors the screen session with runit.  Any activity on that 
    23  screen session is written to a log file. 
    24  . 
    25  Direct access to the monitored lines is allowed only to a specific 
    26  user (who doesn't necessarily otherwise have access to the direct 
    27  serial line), but logs can be made available to any group.  Logs are 
    28  rotated automatically and their total space can be limited in size.
