The iocConsole script originated at APS, and uses the GNU Screen program 
(it requires that you have screen installed; Michael's Libera boxes may 
not have that in their default configuration).  I don't know how similar 
the SLAC version is to ours at the moment; we do generally try to 
collaborate and keep to a single version when other sites come up with 
changes, although that is not always possible.  I'm not aware that we 
have a version available online here, but that could just be my 
ignorance - Janet is the maintainer.
