consolebar
The consolebar utility is an X application that provides a simple
interface capable of starting console windows to all V2500 nodes
configured on the teststation. It has the following format:
consolebar [-display displayname]
consolebar retrieves the list of configured nodes and displays the node
IDs, grouped by complex. When the push-button for a node is pressed, an
xterm is started and the sppconsole program is run against the
specified node.
To start consolebar from the teststation root menu, select the
consolebar menu item.
To start from a shell (local or remote), ensure that your DISPLAY
environment variable is set appropriately before starting consolebar.
For example:
$ DISPLAY=myws:0; export DISPLAY (sh/ksh/sppdsh)
% setenv DISPLAY myws:0 (csh/tcsh)
As another example, use the -display start-up option:
# consolebar -display myws:0
NOTE For shells run from the Test Station desktop, the DISPLAY variable is
set (at shell start-up) to the local teststation display.
