Hey brother - I was setting up a new system and didn't have the tools yet to post the actual error. I had to swap sdcards and post the message then and was working off memory. Anyway, meatlotion's script fixed the problem. And then. This evening, I was checking out memory uilization on my new machine and was systematically closing programs, then relaunching them again. I'm running everything on an rpi3b and it's doing pretty kosher. I went to relaunch syncterm and it didn't launch at all. No error message, nothing I could find in /var/logs/ to glean why syncterm would no longer launch. Callign the app just gave me a new line of the command prompt. I'm running raspberry PI OS, fully patched on an rpi3b in tty. Even after a reboot, syncterm would no longer launch . So, I ran meatlotion's script again and, voila, it launched normally. If this happens again, I'd like to report good information for troubleshooting purposes. Where should I look if syncterm fails to launch again?
