Connect Using Pseudo-terminals

This type of connection enables applications running on the Console Manager host system to be managed by Console Manager. The pseudo-terminal mechanism lets the output from an application be fed to a pseudo-terminal, which then relays the information to the Console Manager software. The Console Manager user can then use the pseudo-terminal interface to connect back and provide input to the application. AN example of this mechanism is the control software for LPS20 Printservers.

The following figure shows a pseudo-terminal connection:

Note: If pseudo-terminals are being used, do not use SET TERMINAL/INQUIRE from either the system login command procedure SYS$MANAGER:SYSLOGIN.COM or the SYSTEM account login command procedure SYS$MANAGER:LOGIN.COM

Add the following lines to your login command procedures in order to use SET TERMINAL/INQUIRE:

$ tt_devname = F$TRNLNM (“TT”)
$ If F$LOCATE (“FTA”, tt_devname) EQ.F$LENGTH (tt_devname_
$ Then
$ SET TERMINAL/INQUIRE
$ EndIf
