Calling ts_menu with specific parameters
# ts_menu -u <user> [-l[c]] [-ro] [-s] [-auth] <console port>
Table 4.6: ts_menu Parameters
Parameter Description
-u <user>
Invokes ts_menu as the user named by <user>. This requires a password to be
entered. The user has access only to the authorized serial ports.
-l[c]
Generates a list of ports to which a user has access. Port aliases are shown if defined.
For remote ports (clusters), if port alias is not defined they are shown as ip_addr:port
(ip_addr referring to the slave console server). The default displays ports in
alphabetical order, but if c flag is specified, the listing is sorted by the console server
(master unit showing first).
-ro
Invokes ts_menu in read-only mode. You may connect to any port to which you have
access in read-only mode.
-s
Invokes ts_menu in a way that all ports (including slave) are presented in a single list
sorted in alphabetical order.
-auth
For backward compatibility. This option makes the new ts_menu implementation
behave as the old one so that authentication is performed again to access each port.
<console
port>
If issued, produces a direct connection to that port. If you have no access rights to the
port or if the port does not exist, the application returns a console not found message
and terminates. The console port may be the port alias or the port number. If you are
trying to access a clustered port, the port number must include a reference to the
slave console server as host:port. Host is the slave hostname or IP address.
-p
Display TCP port.
-P
Use TCP port instead of IP address.
-i
Display Local IP assigned to the serial port.
-s
Show the ports in a sorted order.
-u <name>
Username to be used in SSH/Telnet command.
-U
Always ask for a username.
-e <[^]char>
Escape character used by Telnet or SSH.
