CONMEN(1)

✨ CONMEN ✨

okay bestie, welcome to conmen 💖 — she's a lil wrapper that helps you out with your ConMan broadcast sessions. no cap, she's the friend who sets up the whole party for you and then dips when you're done.

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

`conmen` [OPTIONS] [CONSOLES]

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So here's the vibe: conmen(1) spawns an xterm for each of the selected consoles and uses the current tty as the broadcast window. one window per console, all of them chatting through your terminal. it's giving command center energy fr fr 👑

And the important part — all of the spawned xterm clients are terminated when the broadcast window session is closed. like, the whole squad leaves together. no stragglers, no leftover windows haunting your desktop. periodt 💅

🌸 OPTIONS 🌸

• -d HOST — Specify server destination. tell her which host to talk to 🫶
• -e CHAR — Specify escape character. pick your escape char, your lil get-me-outta-here key.
• -f — Force connections (console-stealing). she's taking the console, whether it wants it or not 😭
• -g QUERY — Specify nodes matching a genders nodeattr query. filter your nodes by a genders nodeattr query, very demure, very mindful.
• -G SIZE — Specify xterm geometry (eg, 80x24). set how big the xterm is, like 80x24 and such ✨
• -h — Display this help. the classic cry for help, but make it helpful 💖
• -j — Join connections (console-sharing). sharing is caring, bestie 🫶
• -L — Display license information. the legal tea ☕
• -m — Monitor connections (read-only). just looking, not touching 👀
• -q — Query server about specified console(s). ask the server what's up with those consoles.
• -r — Match console names via regex instead of globbing. regex girlies rise 🧚
• -V — Display version information. who even are you? version check 💜
