I've read your question several times and still can't figure out what your trying to achieve. Can you clarify please. – Iain♦ Dec 3 '12 at 8:50
I will explain it with screen: screen /dev/ttyUSB0 COMMAND output exit screen In such case I can do it with screen but I need a script to do it. – denizeren Dec 3 '12 at 8:54
