4.4 act-echo
Use this command to force responses from the scroll area of a terminal to be printed to a specified terminal or printer. The command supports one terminal echoing to many terminals or many terminals echoing to one terminal.
Caution:
Exercise restraint in using this command, because excessive echoing can cause a loss of output at the receiving terminal.Example
act-echo:trm=3
Dependencies
Terminal output cannot be echoed to a terminal that is out of service.
If a terminal is already echoing to a specified terminal, this command cannot be entered to echo the terminal’s output to that same terminal.
Echo is not allowed to the terminal from which the command is issued.
Echo is not allowed to or from IP User Interface telnet ports (terminals 17-40).
Terminal output cannot be echoed to a terminal that is inhibited.
The trm parameter must be specified.
Notes
This command can be used to echo only command output responses to a terminal. For alarm and network messages to be sent to a terminal, the chg-trm command must be used.
To echo output to a destination port, a user must be logged in at the destination port. The following warning message appears in the scroll area of the issuing terminal if echo is attempted to a terminal that has no user logged in:
No user logged in at Terminal X. No echo will occur until a user
logs in.
where X is the trm parameter value specified in the act-echo command.
