A server (conserver(8)) runs on each server +machine and it connects to the specified serial port. It can log, +provide shared access to remote consoles, etc. If there are multiple +machines running conserver(8), a master conserver(8) can be run to +connect to all the slave servers, providing a single point of access +to the entire cluster. + +This is very handy for remote unattended FreeBSD servers. It can +send serial break signals (if the driver supports it, cy does not!) +which is useful for breaking into DDB on hung machines. |
