Canceling a User Disconnect

You can use the cancelDisconnect command with the serveradmin tool to cancel a disconnectUsers command. Users receive an announcement that they’re no longer scheduled to be disconnected.

To cancel a user disconnect:

$ sudo serveradmin command

afp:command = cancelDisconnect

afp:timerID = timerID Control-D

Parameter	Description
timerID	The integer value of the afp:timerID parameter output when
	you executed the disconnectUsers command.
	You can also find this number by listing any user scheduled to be
	disconnected and looking at the value of the disconnectID
	setting for the user.
