SSH Reference Manual

ANY

Uses any available CPU for the backup process. The first attempt is with the buddy CPU; if that fails, other CPUs are

then used starting with CPU numbers closest to the primary until a backup is successfully started. This method assures

that a backup will be created any time two CPUs are available. If a backup process is already running, it is stopped. A

new backup process is created in the appropriate CPU.

BANNER Y | N

The BANNER command controls the display of menus on remote session initiation. The default is BANNER Y. When

BANNER N is used to disable banners, no welcome messages or menus are displayed when a remote workstation

connects to STN.

Note: BANNER N may interfere with 6530 emulators configured to automatically transmit the service name, or may

interfere with emulator scripts.

BANNER_TIMEOUT <minutes>

BANNER_TIMEOUT allows for automatic termination of sessions waiting at the STN02 Service menu for an extended

time. This releases resources used by idle connections.

BANNER_TIMEOUT 0, the default, disables the timeout. Sessions will not be terminated at the STN02 Services

prompt.

The timeout can be specified in the range 3-14400 (3 minutes to 10 days). When the STN02 Service menu is unanswered

for the specified length of time, the session is terminated.

If IDLE_WARNING is set to a non-zero value, then a warning message will be displayed once a minute when no input

had been received, and fewer than IDLE_WARNING minutes remain until BANNER_TIMEOUT expires. The

following message appears:

STN35 **WARNING** Terminal will be disconnected if it stays idle...

If input is received after this warning, the timer is reset and the session continues. If nothing is received when

BANNER_TIMEOUT expires, then the following message appears:

STN36 Terminal was idle too long! Disconnecting...

This message will be displayed for approximately 10 seconds, then the session is disconnected.

The exact format of the STN35 and STN36 messages depends on the terminal type:

• 6530: Message is displayed at the cursor location and also on Line 25

• ANSI: Message is displayed at the cursor location

For services with LOGON REQ, the STN15 and STN16 messages prompt for a userid and password. If either of these

prompts is not answered within 60 seconds, the session is terminated with an STN54 error message. This timeout always

is in effect regardless of INPUT_TIMEOUT or BANNER_TIMEOUT.
