ConMan: The Console Manager

Introduction

ConMan is a serial console management program designed to support a large number of console devices and simultaneous users. It supports:

• local serial devices
• remote terminal servers (via the telnet protocol)
• IPMI Serial-Over-LAN (via FreeIPMI)
• Unix domain sockets
• external processes (e.g., using Expect for telnet / ssh / ipmi-sol connections)

Its features include:

• logging (and optionally timestamping) console device output to file
• connecting to consoles in monitor (R/O) or interactive (R/W) mode
• allowing clients to share or steal console write privileges
• broadcasting client output to multiple consoles
