=head1 Name
wcons - windowed remote console
=head1 B<Synopsis>
B<wcons> [B<-t>|B<--tile>=I<n>] [I<xterm-options>] I<noderange>
B<wcons> [B<-h>|B<--help>|B<-v>|B<--version>]
=head1 B<Description>
B<wcons> provides access to the remote node serial console of a single or
range or nodes or groups.
B<wcons> is a simple front-end to rcons in an xterm session for each console.
=head1 B<Options>
=over 5
=item B<-t>|B<--tile>=I<n>
Tile B<wcons> windows from top left to bottom right. If I<n> is spec-
ified then tile I<n> across. If I<n> is not specified then tile to
edge of screen. If tiled B<wcons> windows reach bottom right, then
the windows start at top left overlaying existing B<wcons> windows.
=item B<-h>|B<--help>
Print help.
=item B<-v>|B<--version>
Print version.
=item I<xterm options>
See xterm(1). Any options other than those listed above are passed
directly to xterm. B<Note:> when given multiple nodes, wcons will
override B<-title> and tries to figure out optimal B<-geometry>
options for the xterms (however, B<-geometry> can still be
specified).
=back
=head1 B<Files>
B<nodehm> table -
xCAT node hardware management table. See B<nodehm(5)> for further details. This is used to determine the console access
method.
=head1 B<Examples>
B<wcons> I<node1-node5>
B<wcons> B<--tile> B<--font>=I<nil2> I<all>
B<wcons> B<-t> I<4> I<node1-node16>
B<wcons> B<-f> I<vs> B<-t> I<4> I<node1-node4>
=head1 B<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.
