IBM SC30-3681-08 manual Identifying Prompts, Getting Help

2.Use the talk pid command, where pid is the number of the process to which you want to connect. (For more information about these and other OPCON commands, refer to ªChapter 3. The OPCON Processº on page 25.)

Note: Not every process listed has a user interface (for example, the talk 3 process). The talk 4 command is for use by IBM service representatives.

Identifying Prompts

Each process uses a different prompt. You can tell which process your console is connected to by looking at the prompt. (If the prompt does not appear when you enter the talk pid command, press the Return key a few times.)

The following list shows the prompts for the ®ve main processes:

Table 1. Processes, Their Purpose, and Commands to Access
		Command to
Process	Level and Purpose	Access	Input Prompt
	Level 1 - access to all
OPCON	secondary levels	Ctrl-P	asterisk (*)
	Level 2 - base services
	con®guration and access to
CONFIG	con®guration third level	talk 6	Con®g >
	Level 2 - base services
	operation and monitoring and
	access to operations and
GWCON	monitoring on third level	talk 5	plus sign (+)
MONITR	level 2 - message display	talk 2	(none)
MOSDBG	level 2 - diagnostic	talk 4	$
	environment
Note: Only enter the talk 4 command under the direction of a service representative.
At the OPCON prompt level, you can begin to enter commands from the keyboard.
Use the Backspace key to delete the last character typed in on the command line.
Use Ctrl-Uto delete the whole command line entry so that you can reenter a
command. See ªCommand History for GWCON and CONFIG Command Lineº on
page 21 for information on how to access previously entered commands.

Getting Help

At the command prompts, you can obtain help in the form of a listing of the

commands available at that level. To do this, type ? (the help command), and then

press Enter. Use ? to list the commands that are available from the current level.

You can usually enter a ? after a speci®c command name to list its options. For

example, the following information appears if you enter ? at the * prompt:
