I agree. I was actually thinking just now that I would "enhance" the netconsole-server script so that: 1) it can start both the client and the server (I will just call it "netconsole", and use a config file to get the settings). Maybe options like "--send" and "--receive" are unambiguous enough? 2) we don't need to specify the IP address of the local host for the "client" (possibly enhancing the client to listen on all configured interfaces by default.
