To use pass , place it in the dialog where you want to yield control to the user and follow it
with a character you want the user to enter to resume the dialog. When the user enters this
character, pass sends it to the device and then resumes the dialog, preventing further user
input.
For instance, suppose you have a dialog that logs you into an information service. For
security reasons, you want the dialog to pause at the password prompt, let you enter the
password, and then resume. Do this using the pass command followed by a
<cr> so
pressing Enter after entering the password resumes the dialog.
If you use
pass without a parameter, it passes everything the user enters until he or she tries
to close the connection with the
quit command. Then the dialog resumes, executes the
remaining commands in the dialog, and closes the connection.
pause
pause
Suspends capturing from within the dialog. If you turned capture on earlier in the dialog,
you can pause capturing using the
pause command.
To resume capturing later in the dialog, include a
capture command (without a destination
queue) at that point in the dialog.
stop
stop
Stops capturing from within a dialog.
If you have turned capture on earlier in the dialog, you can turn it off using the
stop
command.
timer
timer <# of seconds> <string to display>
Counts number of seconds specified in < # of seconds> when it is activated by the next
wait command in the dialog.
When a specified string in the
wait command is received, timer stops counting and wait
resumes the dialog. If
wait does not receive the expected string within the time specified in
the
timer command, timer displays the text specified in string and closes the connect
session.
