Console Control Commands
113
function-key-number=
definition
Assigns a command to a console function key. For instance, to assign the
list s command to the F9 key, type f9=list s. To include Command and
Enter keys in a function key definition, use braces. For instance, to
include those keystrokes in the previous assignment example, type
f9={list s}. To list the current assignment of a function key, type the key
number by itself plus Enter on the command line. The valid range is
f1-f14. Avid recommends no definition be made for F14, which defaults
to the Command key. F13 corresponds to the plus (+) key on the numeric
keypad.
list [#-of-lines | all]
Sends some number of lines of the history to the printer attached to the
console multiplexor.
•
list followed by a number, such as list 3, prints that many lines of
the history beginning at the current line.
•
list all prints everything from the current line to the
newest line.
•
list with no parameter prints the current line.
When using
list , the word PRINTER appears on the command line. If
PRINTER is displayed but nothing is being printed, ensure that the printer
is plugged in, turned on, online, and has paper. The console assumes a
printer is connected to the PC’s parallel port, where output is sent. To
cancel a list command while output is printing, press any key; printing
stops and your position in the history moves to the last line sent to the
printer.
logclose
Writes all history currently in memory to disk and then disables disk
logging. You can use it to change log disks.
logopen
Resumes history disk logging after it has been disabled with logclose.
logout
Logs you out from a remote console. To log out, press the Escape key and
type logout. The remote console displays the
PASSWORD prompt, and you can then hang up your modem.
modem
Typed at the main console, this command logs out a remote console user.
Before you type this command, ensure that the remote console user is not
in the middle of an operation. The command may be abbreviated: typing
m or modem will work.
