Disabling Operator Terminals
A terminal that you designate as an operator’s terminal remains enabled even
when the operator logs out. To return the terminal to normal (nonoperator)
status, enter the REPLY/DISABLE command from the terminal.
Example
The following example designates terminal TTA3 as an operator terminal,
enabling it to receive messages concerning printers, magnetic tapes and disks,
and messages intended for the central operator. Later, it relinquishes terminal
TTA3’s ability to receive messages concerning tapes. The terminal still receives
and can respond to messages about disks and printers and messages directed to
CENTRAL.
