CONSOLECMD syntax

CONSOLECMD [-c class[,class]...] [-n node[,node]...] [-p property[,property]...] $<$command$>$

• command is the shell command to use to connect to a remote console. Any valid bash command sequence, including pipes/redirects, is acceptable.
• -c limits the directive to apply only to the given classes.
• -n limits the directive to apply only to the given nodes.
• -p limits the directive to apply only to nodes having one or more of the given properties.

Just as with POWERCMD, every command must reference the spec_id of a SPECFORMAT directive (see section 5.15) by including `SPEC:spec_id' in the appropriate place in the command sequence. The `SPEC:spec_id' text gets replaced with a hostname or a range, etc., as defined in the SPECFORMAT corresponding to spec_id.

A simple hostname format will work in most cases for remote console operations.

When using the hostname or ipaddr spec formats, command is interpolated to replace any instance of `$NODE' or `$IP' with the hostname or IP address of the node being operated on, respectively.
