If you log off from a remote system, any NRD messages you have received from that
remote system are deleted from your OCS window. Other users displaying the same
NRD messages are not affected.
Logging Off From a
Remote System
To log off from a remote NonStop NET/MASTER MS system, SOLVE management
services system, or NetView system, do one of the following:
Issue the SIGNOFF=linkname command.
The SIGNOFF command also terminates any queued logons or connections that
are in recovery following a link failure.
If you have multiple windows in operation, you may be logged on to a remote
NonStop NET/MASTER MS, SOLVE management services, or NetView system
from each operational window. The SIGNOFF command only terminates logons
from the window from which it is issued. Therefore, SIGNOFF commands must
be entered from each operational window from which an explicit or implicit
SIGNON command was executed.
Exit from the OCS or Command Entry window from which you are operating.
Any remaining logons (active and pending) to remote systems from that window
are automatically terminated.
Stopping a Link Issue a LINK STOP=linkname command to stop the INMC link with a remote NonStop
NET/MASTER MS system, SOLVE management services system, or NetView system.
This causes the link to immediately terminate all sessions regardless of any traffic in
progress.
The status of the INMC link is changed to STOPPED on the system that requests the
disconnection and to PEND-ACT on the remote system.
If you restart a link by using the LINK START=linkname command that has been
stopped, NonStop NET/MASTER MS uses the complete link definition that was
current when you stopped the link.
Resetting a Link Issue a LINK RESET=linkname command to stop and reset an INMC link with a remote
NonStop NET/MASTER MS system, SOLVE management services system, or
NetView system.
Once LINK RESET has been issued, the status of the INMC link is no longer apparent,
as distinct from the LINK STOP command. The remote system still shows PEND-
ACT, however. For further information on the differences between the LINK STOP
and the LINK RESET commands, refer to the NonStop NET/MASTER NCL Reference
Manual.
