Ending Your Terminal Session
You can end your termi.nal session in either of two ways:
• By entering the LOGOFF command. to end the session.
• By entering the LOGON command to start a new session.
The LOGOFF command:
• Displays your user identification.
• Displays the 1ength of time you have been using the terminal, and
the time of day and date your session ended.
• Logically disconnects your terminal from the system. The terminal
remains physically connected and you can enter a new LOGON command;
however" terminal characteristics established by a TERMINAL command
during the previous session are no longer in effect.
The LOGON command terminates your current session and starts a new
session at the same time. LOGON must be specified as described in the
section "Identifying Yourself to the System". In this case, terminal
characteristics established by a TERMINAL command during the previous
session remain in effect for the new session.
