picocom requires STDIN?

[rahav]

I am not sure if I need to ask for a new ticket to be opened for this question?

I would like to run picocom unattended on a Raspberry Pi. It would listen to a dev/tty.. device and write the data to a file. Is that possible? I am not able to automatically invoke picocom after startup (e.g. local.rc), or using cron. All of these attempts fail with the message "!! STDIN is not a TTY"
