NAME

       cports - expand host names into <host, server, port> triples

SYNOPSIS

       $CLUSTER_HOME/bin/cports hostname [hostname...]

DESCRIPTION

       The  cports  utility expands the hostname arguments into a list of <host, server, port> triples. The returned information is used to access
       the serial port consoles of the named hosts by way of the terminal server returned in the triples.

       If an entry for serialports has been made in the /etc/nisswitch.conf file, then the order of lookups is controlled by that entry. If  there
       is no such file or no such entry, then the nameservice look up order is implicitly nis files.

EXAMPLES

       Example 1 Using the cports Command

       If the /etc/serialports file contains the entry:

	 pepsi	  soda-tc    5002

       the following command:

	 % cports pepsi

       prints the following string:

	 pepsi soda-tc 5002

       This information can be used by the telnet(1) command to remotely access pepsi's console:

	 % telnet soda-tc 5002
