title: Is there a Linux serial terminal WITH timestamps?
body: <p>i still want to check my Bootloader + Linux Startupcode for an embedded device. Therefore i want to catch the time for every command printed to the serial port.</p>
  
  <p><strong>I know</strong> there are programs like putty (which i can dearly recommend), getty, cutecom, picocom, screen etc. <strong>But none</strong> of these add timestamps to the incomming messages on the host screen (I'm not really talking about the date, more like how many ms have gone since the first output). It actually sounds not like a big deal.</p>
  
  <p>I found out there is one script doing what i wanted to have, called <em>grabserial</em> but it's not working properly, since it's to slow to process the whole output. I discussed this problem in a different forum (if you want to know: <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/q/20518737/3085931">grabserial problem</a> but it's not part of the topic). So i can't use that script.</p>
  
  <p><em>Now again</em>: can you tell me a terminal for Linux which adds timestamps to every line, which was received from a Serial Port?</p>
  
  <p>Thank you</p>
  
  <p>[Edit:] I've found a pretty rough <strong>workaround</strong> with <a href="http://www.debian-administration.org/articles/554" rel="nofollow noreferrer">cereal</a>, which wants to have some settings, since it locks the port everytime you use it. In the end, it adds the actual date and time, not the startup time and difftime between each step, so as you can see I'm still looking for an adequate solution.</p>
