Re: How to create multi session into console?

You can open multiple sessions via LAN but can have write access to only one.
you will see message [Read only - use ^Ecf for console write access.]
you need to type ^Ecf to for write access.

Shalom,

Escape key Ecf

Gives your current session write access. Bumps anyone else with write access off.

Only one write session at a time is permitted.

Re: How to create multi session into console?

From a system administrator perspective, this does not sound like a good idea at all. The console is a special port and is the only port where processor tests and queries are available. It is also the location where high priority messages are sent, which makes editing very tricky. That same console has direct access to power on/off for the computer as well as the ability to reset the computer that forces a reboot.

Why do you need multiple sessions?

Re: How to create multi session into console?

I am not sure what you are trying to accomplish, but you install and use screen.
"The difference between me and you? I will read the man page." and "Respect the hat." and "You could just do a search on ITRC, you don't need to start a thread on a topic that's been answered 100 times already." Oh, and "What. no points???"

Re: How to create multi session into console?

Court, just a note, I actually tried screen many years ago and it wasn't compatible with the MP vt100 emulation -- I don't remember exactly what happened but the MP changed some function keys one way or another. Better test it fully before putting this in production.
