Ok, that is an solution for services.  What does command prompt starts?

If you not give any params to colinux-console-*, then the first colinux 
will be attach.  Inside the source you will see  comment 'todo: add not 
only the first console here' (or so).

Do not create a new tool.  Better you add a new param to the 
colinux-console-*,  for sample '-i N' where N is the number of colinux.
