ENDING A GUI SESSION FOLLOWING AN ABNORMAL SESSION ENDING

Summary: This procedure will help the user log back onto the GUI system after an abnormal session ending. An abnormal session ending might have occurred by operator error, time out, or other unforeseen events. In this event, it might be necessary to free up the GUI and log back in. If the NMIC for some reason reboots and the GUI goes down, the user only needs to log in and start the GUI as usual.

If the session is ended because the machine that the GUI was exported to was rebooted/crashed, the GUI process may or may not shut down. If the GUI process still exists then:

1.Log onto the NMIC as the root user.

2.The administrator can display all GUI users that are currently logged onto the system by entering the following command at the root bash prompt exactly as shown:

manageGui

3.The system displays all active users one through five and indicates the “1st Privileged User” as shown in Figure 778-1.This is the first Level 3 user who logged onto the system and in doing such is the only one that can make topology changes and perform protection switches/restoration. If logged on as the root user, you have the privilege of “killing” the GUI sessions of other users at this point. The system prompts the administrator to type in the number of the user top boot off (numbers 1 to 5).

Stop! You have completed this procedure.
