The Port Server and Rotaries
Issuing the telnet command at the CLI connects the user to 5390_01:
annex: jobs
+1 rlogin HostB
annex: telnet 5390_01
Trying...
Connected to 5390_01.
Escape character is "^]".
Rotaries Defined:
cli
Enter Annex port name or number: 6
Port(s) busy, do you wish to wait? (y/n)[y]: y
The yes response places the request in a first come, first served queue. At this point, the user can
return to an existing job or create another job. If the user places the connection request into the
background, the Model 5390 server notifies the user when the connection is complete.
In the next example, the user first presses the attention character to return to the Model 5390 prompt,
then issues the CLI bg command to place the telnet request using camp-on into the background,
and then issues the fg command to return to the HostB session.
annex: bg
2 telnet anne01 &
annex: jobs
+1 rlogin HostB
-2 telnet 5390_01 &
annex: fg 1
rlogin HostB
%
The user continues working on HostB until notified that the port is free. The terminal displays the
following sample message:
Attached to port 6
A4-4
NOTE: The Model 5390 server cannot send messages to the CLI from
jobs placed in the background. To display messages from a background
job, you must be in a session to another host.
