BACKWARDS

B A C K W A R D S

Reopen the next available lower-numbered session

The BACKWARDS command reopens the next available, lower-numbered session already established at your port. Use the SHOW SESSIONS command to display information about active sessions, including their session numbers.

Notes

The terminal server assigns a number to each session you establish. The server records these session numbers in a rotating list for use by the FORWARDS and BACKWARDS commands. Therefore, when the lowest-numbered session is current, using the BACKWARDS command reopens the highest-numbered session. When only one session is active at a port, the BACKWARDS command reopens that session.

In a Multisessions environment, the BACKWARDS command reopens the next lower- numbered session that does not already appear in a window. See Chapter 5 for more information about how the MULTISESSIONS characteristic affects the BACKWARDS command.

If you have defined a backward switch character, you can reopen the next available lower-numbered session from within the current session, rather than from the terminal server command interface. See Chapter 2 and the SET PORT command in this chapter for more information about the backward switch character.

Syntax

BACKWARDS

Abbreviation

B

Example

A user whose current session is session 2, enters the BACKWARDS command to reopen session 1. First, the user enters the SHOW SESSIONS command to display all active sessions, and check the number of the current session.


TS3395> show			sessions
Port 12: charlie				Service Mode	Current Session 2
- Session 1: Connected				Interactive	FINANCE.SUN.COM
-	Session	2: Connected		Interactive	PAYROLLVAX
-	Session	3: Connected		Interactive	UNIX.HOST.COM

The display shows that session 2 is current. Now the user reopens session 1.
