[Ipmitool-devel] general SOL question

[Jeremy E. <je...@je...>]

I don't think there's a technical reason that a client (ipmtool) couldn't
maintain more than one SOL connection, but there are probably easier ways
to do the same thing.

The screen command, for example, might solve your problem.  From the man
page: 
    Screen is a full-screen window manager that multiplexes a physical ter-
    minal between several processes (typically interactive  shells).

I use screen all the time to manage and persist shell logins and CLI
applications.
