wcons.1¶
Name¶
wcons - windowed remote console
Description¶
wcons provides access to the remote node serial console of a single or range or nodes or groups.
wcons is a simple front-end to rcons in an xterm session for each console.
Options¶
-t | --tile=n
Tile wcons windows from top left to bottom right. If n is spec- ified then tile n across. If n is not specified then tile to edge of screen. If tiled wcons windows reach bottom right, then the windows start at top left overlaying existing wcons windows.
-h | --help
Print help.
-v | --version
Print version.
xterm options
See xterm(1). Any options other than those listed above are passed directly to xterm. Note: when given multiple nodes, wcons will override -title and tries to figure out optimal -geometryoptions for the xterms (however, -geometry can still be specified).
Files¶
nodehm table - xCAT node hardware management table. See nodehm(5)|nodehm.5 for further details. This is used to determine the console access method.
Examples¶
wcons node1-node5
wcons --tile --font=nil2 all
wcons -t 4 node1-node16
wcons -f vs -t 4 node1-node4
Bugs¶
Tile mode assumes that the width of the left window border is also the width of the right and bottom window border. Most window managers should not have a problem. If you really need support for a screwy window manager let me know.
