This command is supported in all Digi Connect products.

Purpose Closes active connect, Rlogin, and Telnet sessions; that is, sessions

opened by “connect,” “rlogin,” or “telnet” commands.

The “close” command is associated with the sessions displayed by the

“status” command.

A “close” command issued without any options closes the current

connection.

To issue the “close” command, you must escape the active session. Do this

by pressing the escape key defined for your session type. The following

table lists default escape keys.

lets you kill connections from the global list. That is, it is not limited to

sessions associated with the current connection.
