Console Control Commands
The table below lists available console control commands and their functions.
Keyword Explanation
bottom
Moves you to the newest (bottom) line in the history.
computer
[computer-name(s) | *]
Selects one or more of your system’s servers, so that you can type a
command on the selected server(s). The command may be abbreviated:
typing c or computer plus the computer name(s) of the servers you want
to select will work. Type the command plus an asterisk (*) to select all
servers, such as c *.
down [number-of-lines |
keyword>
Moves you that many lines forward (down) in the history.
•
down number-of-lines moves you that many lines forward in the
history. For example, typing down 30 moves you forward 30 lines. If
you follow down with a number greater than the number of lines
between your current position and the last line in the history, the down
command moves you to the last (newest) line in the history.
•
down keyword searches forward through the history from your current
position for that word. For example, to search forward for a line
containing the word, list, type: down list.
The down command is not case sensitive. If you specify
PEOPLE , people
is a valid match. If the system does not find the keyword before reaching
the bottom of the history, the console beeps and you are returned to the
current line.
•
down with no parameter moves you down one line.
A wildcard character (#) can be used to match any character or to a search
for a number. For instance, down 160# will search for the number 160
instead of moving down 160 lines.
