cports(1M) System Administration Commands cports(1M)
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
