Description : serial terminal management system
gereal is a rewrite of the cereal tool by Daniel Kahn Gillmor and provides
a framework to easily set up and maintain easy access to serial lines
that may be used to connect to network devices and other systems.
.
gereal can control an arbitrary number of independent sessions.
Direct access to the monitored lines is arrange through a command line
utility that can either connect to a session belonging to the currently
logged-in user, through screen's multiuser feature or via implicitly
invoked sudo.
.
Like cereal, gereal uses screen to do the actual work and is thus limited
to what screen can do on a serial console, but it uses systemd generators
to generate the systemd units that monitor the processes. cereal's logging
features are not available in gereal (yet).
