TALLY Command

The TALLY command has the form:

TALLY <task(s)>

where <task(s)> is one or more task identification letters from Table 5-3

This command causes the current value of the tallies for the specified task or tasks to be displayed. Some of these tallies simply indicate load and performance information about the station. Others can indicate whether or not there are problems either within the station or within the network. See Chapter 5, Troubleshooting, for more information on using the tallies to help isolate and resolve problems.

An example TALLY command is shown below:

> tally c
