In the tip console window established by smsconnectsc, a tilde (~) that appears as the first character of a line is interpreted as an escape signal that directs the tip console to perform the following action:

• ~. Disconnect the tip session.

  If you are telnetted in to the local SC this will disconnect the tip session and you will remain logged in to the local SC.

  If you rlogged in to the local SC, this will disconnect the tip session and also disconnect your rlogin session.

  Note – The tilde will not echo to the screen until after the period is pressed.
• ~~. Disconnect tip session.

  ~~. only works with rlogin. If you are telnetted in to the local SC you will receive the error message: ~.: Command not found

  If you are rlogged in to the local SC this will disconnect the tip session and you will remain logged in to the local SC.

  Note – The first tilde will not echo to the screen. The second will not echo until after the period is pressed.

rlogin also processes tilde-escape sequences whenever a tilde is seen at the beginning of a new line. If you need to send tilde sequence at the beginning of a line and you are using rlogin, use two tildes (the first escapes the second for rlogin). Alternatively, do not enter a tilde at the beginning of a line when running inside of rlogin. If you use a kill -9 command to terminate a console session, the window or terminal in which the smsconnectsc command was executed goes into raw mode, and appears hung. To escape this condition, type ^j, then stty sane, then ^j.

You must have platform administrator privileges to run this command.

Refer to Chapter 2 in the System Management Services (SMS) 1.2 Administrator Guide for the Sun Fire 15K/12K Systems for more information.

In the following example, the local SC is shown as sc1 and the remote SC is shown as sc0. Log in to the local SC as a platform administrator.
