- iocConsole is a tool that creates a persistent console session into an IOC, EIOC or SIOC which can be shared by multiple users simultaneously. The session can also optionally log to a file: $IOC_DATA/<iocname>/screenlog.0.
- iocConsole connects to RTEMS or other "hard" IOCs by telnet-ing to the IOC's terminal server port. iocConsole starts up a soft IOC process, and establishes a console session into for that process.
- iocConsole uses the Linux screen program (http://www.slac.stanford.edu/grp/cd/soft/epics/extensions/iocConsole/screen.1.html) to create and manage the console sessions and logging.
