ConMan is a serial console management program designed to support a large number of console devices and simultaneous users. The project supports local serial devices, remote terminal servers (via the telnet protocol), and external processes (e.g., using Expect to control connections over telnet, ssh, or IPMI Serial-Over-LAN).
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, and broadcasting client output to multiple consoles.
