Network Services

Use
pass x
to include a character the user can enter to cue the dialog to resume. The x
should be a character or symbol, such as the at symbol (@), he or she will not normally
use.
Use
pass
alone to instruct the system to accept what the user enters until he/she closes
the connection.
7. Type commands to log out of the service.
When the user exits a connection using the quit connect command, the dialog resumes
and performs the logout process and closes the connection.
8. Attach the dialog to the service by placing the dialog’s name in the service’s dialog
parameter in the service table, located in the SYSTEM.SERVICE queue.
9. Type the
configure -s
command to incorporate this change into the service.
Dialog Commands
Available dialog commands are flexible enough to script entire connect sessions. For
instance, a dialog could be constructed to automatically log in to the remote console and
“unbusy” a rundown if desired.
The available dialog commands are reviewed in “Command References” on page 109.
Dialog Examples
Here are a few examples of dialogs for remote console connect services:
In the example, <cr> and <lf> are used to indicate a “carriage return” and “line feed.”
