wcons - windowed remote console
wcons [-t|--tile=n] noderange
wcons [-h|--help|-v|--version]
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.
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.
Note: this option is not supported yet! Use Xwindows font font for wcons windows. wcons supports the following font aliases:
Font
nil2
5x8
6x13
7x13
10x20

nodehm table - xCAT node hardware management table. See nodehm(5) for further details. This is used to determine the console access method.
wcons node1-node5
wcons --tile --font=nil2 all
wcons -t 4 node1-node16
wcons -f vs -t 4 node1-node4
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.
