the session and get a new login window, which can be used once the System Manager has been restarted.
At each command line user interface session, a notification message will be displayed t hat the client

Service Status, Security Status, Software Status, Hardware Status and Communication Status.

runs, it may set one or more of these state and status variables to a value indicating the type and severity

state and status variables to their nominal settings. One or more servers can be repaire d with each
