The Client: console

Synopsis

console [-?] [-s SERVER] CONSOLE

Description

Console allows connection to a single console using a simple, terminal-based interface. If a SERVER is not specified then localhost is assumed. After connecting to the server, a password prompt will be output. Enter the console server password (it will not be echoed). The client is then connected to the specified console. For example:
bash$ console -s conc1 pisa
Password: password
Connected. ^A-q to quit ^A-b to send break.

pisa login:
        

Once connected, all input will be sent to the connected console with the exception of three command sequences. Ctrl-A B will cause a break condition to be asserted on the connected console's serial line. Ctrl-A Q causes the console program to exit. Ctrl-A A sends an ASCII SOH (Ctrl-A) to the connected console.
