DESCRIPTION
***********


The \ **replaycons**\  command reads the console log stored by conserver for this node, and displays it
in a way that simulates the original output of the console.  Using the \ *bps*\  value, it will throttle
the speed of the output play back.  (The logs are stored in /var/log/consoles.)

that management node, but in a hierarchical cluster will usually be the service node.
