A new version of the ioc_console utility has been released. This version has 
the 
following improvements:

- The utility now connects to the console servers in such a way that the 
problem 
with stale ssh host keys (i.e. when an ioc was moved from one console to 
another) will not longer be an issue.
- The utility now gives an error message if there is no DNS alias defined for 
the ioc to the console server.
- A new option has been added to get information about the console server to 
which an ioc is attached. This can be helpful for debugging problems. This 
option is [-i] or [-info]. For example:
------------------------------
ioc_console -i iocse10

iocse10 is on console server hlaconlab1

hlaconlab1:
coniochla
coniochla2
coniocse10
-------------------------------

For all options use the [-h] option:

$ ioc_console -h

usage: ioc_console [-h] [-i] [-q] iocname

[-h] Print Help.
[-q] Quiet Mode.
[-i] Print information about the console server and it's aliases.

Examples:
ioc_console iocse10 - connect to the console of iocse10
ioc_console -i iocse10 - show info about iocse10's console server
ioc_console -q connect to iocse10 using quiet mode.
