[BRLTTY] Brltty install and Authentication error when calling brailapitest program

[Dave Mielke]

You don!t want to to have brltty running more than once without using different options for each  one so that each one will control a different braille device. Having more than one brltty process try to control the same braille device can cause a lot of confusion, and usually means that the braille device will seem to not be working at all.

It Looks like I did not run the command  "brltty -d /dev/pts/3 -bauto"
 after "make install". Right now the authentication is going through.
But If I run '"brttly" again, it adds one more brttly job  when checked
with ps -A | grep brttly'.    From the documentation I understood, inorder
to invoke  brtlyapi_methods there will be having  server program running.
Can you please mention which  Job it is  ? And  with multiple 'brttly'
command will it run that many server attached to many socket.?
