Hi,
I am using some qemu virtual machines on Ubuntu 12.04LTS, the virtual machines have their serial port mapped and available through a telnet server port (with the -serial telnet::9001,server,nowait option)
This works fine for remote users to get access to the terminal.
However, this is a single user session, so when another tries to connect to the same port, it does not get any response.
* It is possible to show some kind of 'port already in use' message for the addtional connections ?
* In case a user is not actively using the session, I would need a mechanism to clear/reset the active telnet session to this serial port. Does anyone know how I can do a forced disconnect for a telnet session to the serial mapped port ?
* Would it be possible to make this a multi-user session, so the output of the serial could be shown on multiple client tcp sessions ? (similar to the fuctionality of some console servers)
Thank you ,
Peter.
