OK - the problem is not solved so far ...   
      
   Tcpser run now for a few days well.   
      
   Then it stopped again.   
      
   I typed:ps x |grep -v grep |grep -c "tcpser"   
      
   The result was: 0   
      
   Tcpser was also not started by CRON after a few minutes ...   
      
   Then I typed: ./startSerial   
      
   Tcpser started. At the moment it is running, but I don't know why it is not   
   startet by CRON automatically, because the script seems to work good...?
