Local>> DEFINE MENU 6 "Terminal Server Prompt" "exit"
Local>> DEFINE MENU 7 "Logout" "logout"
The Exit command only works in menu mode. It allows users to return
Note:
to the Local> prompt on the Terminal Server on which the menu was
configured. It is helpful to include this command in your menus until
you have fully tested them - otherwise there is no way for users on
menu mode ports to return to the Local> prompt.
To review the menu you've just created, type Show Menu at the Local> prompt. The menu
created by the previous commands would look like this:
Local_1>> show menu
Title for the menu is "Black Box Console Server"
1: Cisco Router --> "telnet 192.0.1.250;kill"
2: Sun Server --> "telnet 192.0.1.251;kill"
3: HPUX Server --> "connect local port_3"
4: Linux Server --> "connect local port_4"
5: PBX Switch --> "connect local port_5"
6: Terminal Server Prompt --> "exit"
7: Logout --> "logout"
