Multisessions

The BACKWARDS command reopens the next lower-numbered session that does not already appear in a window. The session you reopen with the BACKWARDS command appears in the window where you entered the command. For example, a port could have four active sessions, numbered 1, 2, 3, and 4. Session 2 appears in the top window, and session 3 appears in the bottom window. If you suspend session 3 and enter the BACKWARDS command from the TS3395> prompt, the terminal server reopens session 1 in the bottom window. It does not reopen session 2 because this session already appears in the top window.

The terminal server records session numbers sequentially in a rotating list, just as it does at regular terminals. If you enter the BACKWARDS command from the lowest-numbered session, the terminal server reopens the next highest-numbered session that is not being displayed.

You can enter this command from the TS3395> prompt, from within a window, when no connection is active in the window. The TS3395> prompt appears in each window after you have established the first session for a window from the “Service name=” prompt.

When using multisessions, the DISCONNECT command can terminate sessions from within the active window, another window, or terminate all sessions, depending on the arguments you use with it. If you enter the command without arguments the terminal server terminates the current session within the window where you entered the command.

If you enter the command with a session number, the terminal server terminates that session, even if you opened it in another window:

DISCONNECT [session-number]

If you enter the command with the ALL keyword, the terminal server terminates all sessions at the port:

DISCONNECT ALL

The FORWARDS command reopens the next higher-numbered session that does not already appear in a window. The session you reopen with the FORWARDS command appears in the window where you entered the command. For example, a port could have four active sessions, numbered 1, 2, 3, and 4. Session 3 appears in the top window, and session 2 appears in the bottom window. If you suspend session 2 and enter the FORWARDS command from the TS3395> prompt, the terminal server reopens session 4 in the bottom window. It does not reopen session 3 because this session already appears in the top window.

The terminal server records session numbers sequentially in a rotating list, just as it does at regular terminals. If you enter the FORWARDS command from the highest-numbered session, the terminal server reopens the next lowest-numbered session that is not being displayed.
