CONMAN.CONF(5)			     LLNL			CONMAN.CONF(5)

NAME
       conman.conf - ConMan daemon configuration file

DESCRIPTION
       The  conman.conf	 configuration	file  is  used to specify the consoles
       being managed by conmand.

       Comments are introduced by a hash sign (#), and continue until the  end
       of  the line.  Blank lines and white-space are ignored.	Directives are
       terminated by a newline, but may span multiple  lines  by  escaping  it
       (ie,  immediately preceding the newline with a backslash).  Strings may
       be either single-quoted or double-quoted, but they may not contain new‐
       lines.  Keywords are case-insensitive.

SERVER DIRECTIVES
       These  directives  begin with the SERVER keyword followed by one of the
       following key/value pairs:

       keepalive = (on|off)
	      Specifies whether	 the  daemon  will  use	 TCP  keep-alives  for
	      detecting dead connections.  The default is on.

       logdir = "directory"
	      Specifies	 a directory prefix for log files that are not defined
	      via an absolute pathname.

       logfile = "file[,priority]"
	      Specifies the file to which log  messages	 are  appended.	  This
	      string  undergoes conversion specifier expansion (cf, CONVERSION
	      SPECIFICATIONS).	If an absolute pathname is not specified,  the
	      file's location is relative to logdir (assuming it has been pre‐
	      viously defined).	 This file will be  created  if	 it  does  not
	      already  exist.	The  filename  may optionally be followed by a
	      comma and a minimum priority at which messages will  be  logged.
	      Refer  to	 syslog.conf(5) for a list of priorities.  The default
	      priority is info.	 If this keyword is used in  conjunction  with
	      the syslog keyword, messages will be sent to both locations.

       loopback = (on|off)
	      Specifies	 whether  the daemon will bind its socket to the loop‐
	      back address, thereby only accepting  local  client  connections
	      directed to that address (127.0.0.1).  The default is off.

       pidfile = "file"
	      Specifies	 the  file  to which the daemon's PID is written.  The
	      use of a pidfile is recommended if you want to use the  daemon's
	      '-k', '-q', or '-r' options.

       port = integer
	      Specifies	 the  port  on which the daemon will listen for client
	      connections.

       resetcmd = "string"
	      Specifies a command string to be	invoked	 by  a	subshell  upon
	      receipt  of  the	client's  "reset"  escape.   Multiple commands
	      within a string may be separated with semicolons.	  This	string
	      undergoes	 conversion specifier expansion (cf, CONVERSION SPECI‐
	      FICATIONS) and will be invoked multiple times if the  client  is
	      connected to multiple consoles.

       syslog = "facility"
	      Specifies	 that log messages are to be sent to the system logger
	      (syslogd) at the given facility.	Refer to syslog.conf(5) for  a
	      list of facilities.  If this keyword is used in conjunction with
	      the logfile keyword, messages will be sent to both locations.

       tcpwrappers = (on|off)
	      Specifies whether the daemon will use TCP-Wrappers when  accept‐
	      ing  client  connections.	  Support  for	this  feature  must be
	      enabled at compile-time (via  configure's	 "--with-tcp-wrappers"
	      option).	Refer to hosts_access(5) and hosts_options(5) for more
	      details.	The default is off.

       timestamp = integer (m|h|d)
	      Specifies the interval between timestamps written to  the	 indi‐
	      vidual  console  log files.  The interval is an integer that may
	      be followed by a single-character modifier; 'm' for minutes (the
	      default), 'h' for hours, or 'd' for days.	 The default is 0 (ie,
	      no timestamps).

GLOBAL DIRECTIVES
       These directives begin with the GLOBAL keyword followed by one  of  the
       following key/value pairs:

       log = "file"
	      Specifies	 the  default  log file to use for each console direc‐
	      tive.  This string undergoes conversion specifier expansion (cf,
	      CONVERSION SPECIFICATIONS) and must contain either '%N' or '%D'.
	      If an absolute pathname is not given,  the  file's  location  is
	      relative to logdir (assuming it has been previously defined).

       logopts = "(sanitize|nosanitize),(timestamp|notimestamp)"
	      Specifies	 global	 options  for  the  console  log files.	 These
	      options can be overridden on an per-console basis by  specifying
	      the  CONSOLE  logopts  keyword.  Note that options affecting the
	      output of the console's logfile also affect the  output  of  the
	      console's	 log-replay  escape.  The valid logoptions include the
	      following:

	      sanitize or nosanitize - sanitized log files convert  non-print‐
	      able characters into 7-bit printable characters.

	      timestamp or notimestamp - timestamped logs prepend each line of
	      console output with a timestamp in "YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS" format.
	      This  timestamp  is generated when the first character following
	      the line break is output.

	      The default is "nosanitize,notimestamp".

       seropts = "bps[,databits[parity[stopbits]]]"
	      Specifies	 global	 options  for  local  serial  devices.	 These
	      options  can be overridden on an per-console basis by specifying
	      the CONSOLE seropts keyword.

	      bps is an integer specifying the baud rate  in  bits-per-second.
	      If  this	exact value is not supported by the system, it will be
	      rounded down to the next supported value.

	      databits is an integer from 5-8.

	      parity is a single case-insensitive character: 'n' for none, 'o'
	      for odd, and 'e' for even.

	      stopbits is an integer from 1-2.

	      The  default is "9600,8n1" for 9600 bps, 8 data bits, no parity,
	      and 1 stop bit.

CONSOLE DIRECTIVES
       This directive defines an individual console being managed by the  dae‐
       mon.   The  CONSOLE keyword is followed by one or more of the following
       key/value pairs:

       name = "string"
	      Specifies the name used by clients  to  refer  to	 the  console.
	      This keyword is required.

       dev = "string"
	      Specifies	 the location of the device.  A local serial-port con‐
	      nection is specified with the pathname of	 the  tty  device.   A
	      remote   terminal-server	 connection   is  specified  with  the
	      "host:port" format (where	 host  is  either  a  hostname	or  IP
	      address).	 This keyword is required.

       log = "file"
	      Specifies	 the file where console output is logged.  This string
	      undergoes conversion specifier expansion (cf, CONVERSION	SPECI‐
	      FICATIONS).   If	an  absolute pathname is not given, the file's
	      location is relative to logdir (assuming it has been  previously
	      defined).	  An  empty  log string (ie, log="") disables logging,
	      overriding the global log name.

       logopts = "string"
	      This keyword is optional (cf, GLOBAL DIRECTIVES).

       seropts = "string"
	      This keyword is optional (cf, GLOBAL DIRECTIVES).

CONVERSION SPECIFICATIONS
       A conversion specifier is a two-character sequence beginning with a '%'
       character.   The second character in the sequence specifies the type of
       conversion to be applied.  The following specifiers are supported:

       %N     The console name (from the name string).

       %D     The console device basename (from the dev string), with  leading
	      directory components removed.

       %P     The daemon's process identifier.

       %Y     The year as a 4-digit number with the century.

       %y     The year as a 2-digit number without the century.

       %m     The month as a 2-digit number (01-12).

       %d     The day of the month as a 2-digit number (01-31).

       %H     The hour as a 2-digit number using a 24-hour clock (00-23).

       %M     The minute as a 2-digit number (00-59).

       %S     The seconds as a 2-digit number (00-61).

       %s     The number of seconds since the Epoch.

       %%     A literal '%' character.

       The  console  name  (%N)	 and device (%D) specifiers are "sanitized" in
       that non-printable characters and the forward-slash (/)	character  are
       replaced with underscores.
