What's New in the Solaris 8 Operating Environment

Remote Console Messaging

This release includes the consadm command, which enables you to select a serial device as an auxiliary (or remote) console for troubleshooting remote system problems.

This feature enables you to dial in to a serial port with a modem to monitor console messages and participate in init state transitions.

For more information, see the man page consadm(1M) and the System Administration Guide, Volume 2.

This feature was first available in the Solaris 7 5/99 release.
