nodeconsole(1) -- Open a console to a confluent node
=====================================================

## SYNOPSIS
`nodeconsole` `node`

## DESCRIPTION

**nodeconsole** opens an interactive console session to a given node.  This is the
text or serial console of a system.  Exiting is done by hitting `Ctrl-e`, then `c`,
 then `.`.  Note that console output by default is additionally logged to 
`/var/log/confluent/consoles/`**NODENAME**.

## ESCAPE SEQUENCE COMMANDS

While connected to a console, a number of commands may be performed through escape
sequences.  To begin an command escape sequence, hit `Ctrl-e`, then `c`.  The next
keystroke will be interpreted as a command.  The following commands are available.

* `.`:
  Exit the session and return to the command prompt
* `b`:
  Send a break to the remote console when possible (some console plugins may not support this)
* `o`:
  Request confluent to disconnect and reconnect to console.  For example if there is suspicion
  that the console has gone inoperable, but would work if reconnected.
* `?`:
  Get a list of supported commands
* `<enter>`:
  Abandon entering an escape sequence command
