HP UX 11i v2 Networking Software manual Terminal length, Terminal time-out, Trace

terminal length

Synopsis: The terminal length command sets the number of lines displayed at one time by commands like more so that data does not scroll quickly out of view.

Syntax: terminal length int

terminal no length

int is a number between 0 and 512 that indicates the number of lines to display at one time.

0 turns off paging and displays data on the screen without stopping until completed. It is recommended you set the terminal page length to 0 when using the tail command with the end argument. Otherwise, you will have to keep pressing the <space> bar to continue each time the maximum display length is reached. no length resets the terminal length to the default.

Command Modes: User-execute and privileged-execute modes.

Privilege Level: General read-only user.

Usage Guidelines: The number of lines specified only applies to the current CLI session. Other users are unaffected by changes to the display length.

If you set the page length to 0 to disable paging, do not change the terminal window size. Changing window size restores the terminal length to that of the window and re-enables paging.

Examples:

HP-IB# terminal length 66

Defaults: The default is 24 lines per screen.

Related Commands: “more” (page 206)

“show logging>” (page 169) “show system-services” (page 173)

terminal time-out

Synopsis: The terminal time-outcommand sets a limit for inactivity allowed during a CLI session.

Syntax: terminal time-out int terminal no time-out

int is a number between 1 and 100000 that indicates the number of minutes of inactivity allowed before automatically closing the CLI session. no timeout resets the session limit for inactivity to the default.

Command Modes: User-execute and privileged-execute modes.

Privilege Level: General read-write user.

Usage Guidelines: Changes to this parameter are applied immediately to all users, whether logged in now or who log in later.

Note that system time-outs may still apply if you are using Telnet or SSH to connect to the system.

Examples:

HP-IB# terminal time-out 60

Defaults: The default time-out interval is 15 minutes.

Related Commands: “show system-services” (page 173)
