Logged on to linux through vm and the instance....

[Larry Macioce]

won't let anyone else do anything.
I am reading ch 6 and doing a few displays. A programmer comes over to me
and says the linux instance is dead(access through putty) as in won't even
ping.
Funny I say because I'm logged on to it(through vm) poking around but that
should stop you from being there. Then I told him just for laughs I'll
logoff(disc) from the system. Lo and behold he is able to ping the thing.
Naw this can't be happening I tell him I'm going to logon again I do and
the instance is as dead as a mackrel. So I logoff he pings the instance and
they are happy.
Then I'm came here to find the answer. I remember seeing somewhere that you
can limit the number of users on a system but I would have thought that it
meant logged on to it through vm ,but I'm the only one that logs on through
vm.
HELP
thanks

You need to type #CP BEGIN after you're through doing the LINK commands.
When you connected, VM sent the guest a console interrupt, which paused
the Linux guest. It's waiting for you to tell it how to continue. BEGIN
tells it to keep running.

'cp set run on' worked like a champ

wish I could get the ok to get to share but I'll see you (some of you) at
the next midwest meeting

thanks

Use #CP to prefix the CP commands you wish to enter.

well another thing has now happened. I can no longer issue vm commands wh
en
I logon to the the instance through vm, I can only login to the instance

and do the linux commands.
I've even tried to issue a norun on the command area of the vm login scre
en
but I end un in either a running state or a vm read state. I've been
looking through the cp commands to try and find the correct command but

have been unsuccessful.
Plus no I have to take off for an atttorney visit..I may or maynot be bac
k
today

thanks

That's the reason for #CP vs CP. The lineend char (# by default) issues
the command to the underlying CP.
