Sun Remote System Control (RSC) User's Guide

Console Session Variable

escape_char

This variable sets the escape sequence character for ending a console session and returning to the RSC shell. The escape sequence applies to all RSC users for the server. The escape sequence consists of the escape character followed by a period. The default escape character is ~ (tilde).

The escape sequence character can be a single alphanumeric character. It can also be a control character. To enter a control character as the escape character, type "^" (Shift-6) to represent the Control key, followed by another character. If the second character is a question mark (?), the Delete key is selected; otherwise the second character is converted to a control character and used as the escape character. For example, if you enter ^y to set the escape character, users will use Control-y to end a console session.
