TCP/IP TELNET Management Programming Manual

Commands
Management Programming for the TELNET Subsystem
2–4 53474 Tandem Computers Incorporated
Commands Table 2-1 lists and briefly describes the commands that a management application
using the control-and-inquiry interface can send to the TELNET subsystem. For
detailed descriptions of these commands as they relate to the TELNET subsystem,
refer to Section 6, “Commands and Responses.” For a description of these commands
as they relate to all data communications subsystems, or for information about using
SPI messages to communicate with data communications subsystems in general, refer
to the Communications Management Programming Manual.
Table 2-1. TELNET Programmatic Commands
Command Description
ABORT Terminates the operation of windows immediately.
ADD Adds a window to the TELNET subsystem.
ALTER Changes the values of the attributes of a process or window.
DELETE Removes windows from the TELNET subsystem.
GETVERSION Returns the version level and version banner for the TELNET subsystem.
INFO Returns the current values of the attributes of processes or windows.
LISTOBJECTS Returns the names of the objects known to the TELNET subsystem.
LISTOPENS Returns information about the openers of the TELNET process.
RESETSTATS Returns statistical information about the process and windows, and then resets
the statistics counters.
START Initiates the operation of windows.
STATISTICS Returns statistical information about the process and windows.
STATUS Returns information about the current state of the process and windows.
STOP Terminates the operation of windows.
TRACE Traces the activity of the process or a window.
Table 2-2 shows the correspondence between the Subsystem Control Facility (SCF)
commands an operator issues to control and monitor the TELNET subsystem, and the
programmatic commands a management application sends to the subsystem. The
table features the command and object names in the form you must use in
applications. However, later in this manual, in the text and headings for the
command descriptions, the commands and object types appear in a shortened form
(that is, without the ZCOM-CMD- and ZCOM-OBJ- prefixes).
