54 Chapter 2 Command Descriptions
close
Device support This command is supported in all devices.
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. That is, you can only close sessions that are displayed
by the "status" command by issuing a "close" command, and not by the
"kill" command. A "close" command issued without options closes the
current connection.
To issue the “close” command, you must escape the active session. To do
this, press the escape key defined for your session type. The following
table lists default escape keys.
Required

Anyone can use this command.

Options *

Examples

#> close 1
Close the current session

and lets you kill connections from the global list. That is, it is not limited
to sessions associated with the current connection.
