CONMAN(1) LLNL CONMAN(1)
NAME
conman - ConMan client
SYNOPSIS
conman [OPTION]... [CONSOLE]...
DESCRIPTION
conman is a program for connecting to remote consoles being managed by conmand.
Console names can be separated by spaces and/or commas. Globbing is used by
default to match console names against the configuration, but regular expression
matching can be enabled with the '-r' option.
conman supports three modes of console access: monitor (read-only), interactive
(read-write), and broadcast (write-only). If neither the '-m' (monitor) nor '-b'
(broadcast) options are specified, the console session is opened in interactive
mode.
OPTIONS
-b Broadcast to multiple consoles (write-only). Data sent by the client will
be copied to all specified consoles in parallel, but console output will not
be sent back to the client. This option can be used in conjunction with
'-f' or '-j'.
-d destination
Specify the location of the conmand daemon, overriding the default
[127.0.0.1:7890]. This location may contain a hostname or IP address, and
be optionally followed by a colon and port number.
-e character
Specify the client escape character, overriding the default [&].
-f Specify that write-access to the console should be "forced", thereby steal-
ing the console away from existing clients having write privileges. The
original clients are informed by conmand of who perpetrated the theft as
their connections are terminated.
-F file
Read console names/patterns from file. Only one console name may be speci-
fied per line. Leading and trailing whitespace, blank lines, and comments
(ie, lines beginning with a '#') are ignored.
-h Display a summary of the command-line options.
-j Specify that write-access to the console should be "joined", thereby sharing
the console with existing clients having write privileges. The original
clients are informed by conmand that a new client has been granted write
privileges.
-l file
Log console session output to file.
-L Display license information.
-m Monitor a console (read-only).
-q Query conmand for consoles matching the specified names/patterns. Output
from this query can be saved to file for use with the '-F' option.
-Q Enable quiet-mode, suppressing informational messages. This mode can be
toggled within a console session via the '&Q' escape.
-r Match console names via regular expressions instead of globbing.
-v Enable verbose mode.
-V Display version information.
ESCAPE CHARACTERS
The following escapes are supported and assume the default escape character [&]:
&? Display a list of currently available escapes.
&. Terminate the connection.
&& Send a single escape character.
&B Send a "serial-break" to the remote console.
&F Switch from read-only to read-write via a "force".
&I Display information about the connection.
&J Switch from read-only to read-write via a "join".
&L Replay up the the last 4KB of console output. This escape requires the con-
sole device to have logging enabled in the conmand configuration.
&M Switch from read-write to read-only.
&Q Toggle quiet-mode to display/suppress informational messages.
&R Reset the node associated with this console. This escape requires a
"resetcmd" to be specified in the conmand configuration.
&Z Suspend the client.
ENVIRONMENT
The following environment variables override the default settings.
CONMAN_HOST
Specifies the hostname or IP address at which to contact conmand, but may be
overridden by the '-d' command-line option. A port number separated by a
colon may follow the hostname (ie, host:port), although the CONMAN_PORT
environment variable takes precedence. If not set, the default host
[127.0.0.1] will be used.
CONMAN_PORT
Specifies the port on which to contact conmand, but may be overridden by the
'-d' command-line option. If not set, the default port [7890] will be used.
CONMAN_ESCAPE
The first character of this variable specifies the escape character, but may
be overridden by the '-e' command-line option. If not set, the default
escape character [&] will be used.
SECURITY
The client/server communications are not yet encrypted.
