command in the following way:
/usr/bin/ssh <servername> -1 <username>
The following sample entries in SYSTEM.SERVICE let you establish a network
connection to your console from an iNEWS Workstation session.
a - console console sysops /usr/bin/ssh NRCS-A -l so
b - console console sysops /usr/bin/ssh NRCS-B -l so
The resource assigned to the service must be configured on the computer you want to
log in to.
5. (Optional) Create a dialog for the service.
If you want your service to follow certain instructions every time it is invoked, create a
dialog for the service containing those instructions. See “Building a Dialog” on page 27
