Table 3. OPCON Commands (continued)

Command	Function
Talk	Connects to another router process and enables the use of its
	commands.
Telnet	Connects to another router.

Breakpoint

Use the breakpoint command to trap information in the MOS system debugging tool, inspect memory, place breakpoints, or obtain a core dump. This command should be used only by software specialists.

If the watchdog timer is on when you invoke this command, the contents of core memory are dumped (if dumping is enabled) when the watchdog timer ®res. All routing processes are halted.

The breakpoint command must be issued from a local console.

Note: Do not use this command during normal operations because it completely halts operation of the software. If you accidentally enter the breakpoint command, quickly press Esc, and then p.

Syntax:

breakpoint

Divert

Use the divert command to send the output from a speci®ed process to a speci®ed terminal. This command allows you to divert the output of several processes to the same terminal to simultaneously view the output. The divert command is commonly used to redirect MONITR output messages to a speci®c terminal. The router allows only certain processes to be redirected.

After entering the command, enter the PID and tty# (number of the output terminal). To obtain these values, use the OPCON status command. The terminal number can be the number of either the local console (tty0) or one of the remote consoles (tty1, tty2). The following example shows Event Logging System messages generated by the MONITR process (2) being sent to a remote console tty1 (1).

Event messages are displayed immediately even though you may be in the middle of typing a command. The display and keyboard have separate buffers to prevent command confusion. The following example shows the MONITR process connected to TTY1 after executing the divert 2 1 command. If you want to stop the output, enter halt 2. The halt command is described in ªHaltº on page 29.

Syntax:
divert	pid tty#
Example: divert 2 1
