ZlinkW Command Reference
The repeat command should not be used with the traffic command. No harm will be
done, but as the
traffic command also watches for a Return key to terminate it the
results may be confusing. If you do type “
repeat traffic” you may need to quickly
press Return several times in a row in order to leave the traffic command. Also the
“repeat” command should not be used with the
page command, as this will result in rapid,
repeated, restarting of the specified test page. This can create large transmitter delays as
dozens or hundreds of test pages are sent to the station card within a very short time.
One example of uses for the repeat command is the following line:
repeat siu -mc; liu -g
This will display the messages type, alert, voice, and display, batched on each station card,
followed by the number of pages for each pager format on the station cards, followed by
the trunk group usage information. This information will be updated every few seconds,
the exact rate depending on the number of trunks and station cards, and if local port or
modem access is being used. In other words it provides moment to moment overview of
the activity on the paging terminal.
There are three commands that are generally useful only with the repeat command:
cls Clear the whole screen.
Example: repeat cls; liu -q
clreos Clear from current cursor position to end of screen
(note: most ANSI.SYS drivers don't properly support this)
cr Carriage return - insert extra blank lines.
Example: repeat cr; cr; cr; liu; cr; cr; siu
ZlinkW “search”
This allows a file or files to be searched for lines containing a string, and all lines that
match are printed to the display. The search is case insensitive, and the string cannot have
blanks in it. The command uses the same file wildcards and switches as copy does. The
following entry will show you the heap status at the beginning of the log files, in time
order.
+ search heap log* -ot
As another example, this next entry will show you all the activity for telephone number
820-6363 in the current log.
+ search 820-6363
And as a final example, the following will show you all the Minimum... lines in the
customer's options.cus file.
+ search minimum options.cus
There is no way to stop search once it starts. Entering the following would be a disaster,
since it will print out almost all the log file lines, from all the log files.
+ search - log*
Even hanging up and calling back will not stop it in older versions. As of Version 310h1,
hanging up will stop it in a short time.
