Description
Story: I'm using labgrid-client -p <place> console to connect to a place. From within the console window, I want to trigger a power on/off/cycle (e.g. the equivalent of callling labgrid-client -p <place> power cycle from another shell.)
This request is inspired by similar feature in conmux where for any given console, you can use an escape sequence (e.g. ~$ in conmux) which can commands on the host where the conmux server (same as labgrid-exporter) is running.

Research direction
Start at the labgrid-client console entry point and trace how console input is handled and how power commands are dispatched. Compare the requested escape-sequence behavior with conmux and the labgrid-exporter host context; done means triggering power on, off, or cycle from within an active console without a second shell.
