usb-ser-mon (for linux) a simple terminal which auto-connects to your usb-serial devices (like the espruino)

WooHoo. I just got my espruino in the mail.

If you use linux, then you may be interested in the program I wrote recently.
I originally wrote it for connecting to my Teensy 3.1, and then the STM4DISCOVERY and it also works with the espruino.

If you only have a single usb-serial device, then it will automatically connect (assumes that you either have your udev rules setup properly or run the script as root).

If you have more than one device, you can use the vendor name or serial number number to distinguish devices. When you reset your board usb-ser-mon will detect that and automatically reconnect when it comes back.

I wrote little blog entry about it here (and realized I forgot to include information about the udev stuff, so I'll post another entry soon): http://dhylands.blogspot.ca/2014/01/usb-serial-monitor.html
