.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
.I Cec
|
|
uses raw Ethernet packets to connect to a CEC server for console access.
|
|
All clients share the same session.
|
|
Coraid appliances and Coraid Plan 9 kernels can currently be CEC servers.
|
|
.PP
|
|
.I Cec
|
|
starts by probing the specified network interface
|
|
for available CEC servers. The default is
|
|
.BR /net/ether0 .
|
|
Only one
|
|
.I cec
|
|
process may be run per Ethernet interface.
|
|
If the server is specified with the
|
|
.BR -b ,
|
|
.BR -h ,
|
|
or
|
|
.B -s
|
|
options, communication will
|
|
proceed immediately upon discovery of the first CEC server
|
|
with the specified address.
|
|
Otherwise, a selection prompt
|
|
will be displayed showing the discovered CEC servers
|
|
available for communication. Unless the
|
|
.B -p
|
|
option is specified,
|
|
.I cec
|
|
exits if no matching servers are found.
|
|
The selection prompt accepts
|
|
.LP
|
|
.TF "\fInumber "
|
|
.TP
|
|
.I number
|
|
Connect to server
|
|
.I number
|
|
(from the first column),
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B p
|
|
Probe the interface again, and
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B q
|
|
Quit.
|
|
.PD
|
|
.PP
|
|
Note the selection number is not the shelf address but the
|
|
.IR cec -generated
|
|
sequence number printed in the leftmost column.

.PP
|
|
Once connected to a CEC server, typing the escape character
|
|
will drop the user into an escape prompt where the user may type
|
|
.L q
|
|
to quit the connection,
|
|
.L i
|
|
to send the escape character
|
|
across the connection, or
|
|
.L .
|
|
to continue the connection.
|
|
.SS Options
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B -c
|
|

|
.TP
|
|
.B -d
|

implies
|
|
.BR -p .
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B -h
|
|
Connect to the server
|
|
.IR host .
|
|
Note that this name might not be the same as the contents of
|
|
.L /dev/sysname
|
|
on the target system.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B -p
|
|
Persist: continue trying to connect even if
|
|
there are no matching servers. This is useful when
|
|
connecting to a CPU server before it boots.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B -s
|
|
Connect to the server at address
|
|
.IR shelf .
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B -S
|
|
Post the CEC connection as
|
|
.BI /srv/ srv
|
|
to allow sharing.

If the
|
|
.BR -e ,
|
|
.BR -s ,
|
|
or
|
|
.B -h
|
|
options are given,
|
|
.I cec
|
|
will exit upon closing the connection.

|
.SH BUGS
|
|
The CEC protocol should be integrated with the console server.
|
|
The arbitration between the keyboard and network is suboptimal.
|
|
.PP
|
|
Early boot information and very late crash information from servers
|
|
may be lost due to timing quirks.
