Within the CLI subshell, the TELNET command allows the administrator to view information regarding
the currently active Telnet session (Figure 3–56).
Figure 3–56 Telnet Session Information
TELNET KILL=m lets the system administrator terminate the remote Telnet session (Figure 3–57). The
KILL parameter may also be specified with TELNET KILL=m, where m indicates the number of minutes
that will be allowed to elapse before the remote Telnet session is terminated. The valid range is
<0..15> minutes. Default is 1minute. An administrative login is required before the command is
processed.
Figure 3–57 Terminating a Telnet Session
The remote user is given a warning that the administrator has killed his session, and indicates to him the
amount of time (if any) that he has remaining (Figure 3–58). An m value of 0 (zero) is an immediate
KILL. The remote user will be notified, but most likely will be unable to read the entire warning message
before the session ends.
Figure 3–58 Telnet Session Being Terminated
NOTE :
If a user is in the middle of running a CLI command at a remote Telnet site when the
administrative KILL is issued, the command will continue on the CLI console.
