HP Fabric Clustering System HP-UX Administrator's Guide, March 2008
terminal length
Synopsis: The terminal length command sets the number of lines displayed at one time
by commands like more so that data does not scroll quickly out of view.
Syntax: terminal length int
terminal no length
int is a number between 0 and 512 that indicates the number of lines to display at one time.
0 turns off paging and displays data on the screen without stopping until completed. It is
recommended you set the terminal page length to 0 when using the tail command with the end
argument. Otherwise, you will have to keep pressing the <space> bar to continue each time the
maximum display length is reached. no length resets the terminal length to the default.
Command Modes: User-execute and privileged-execute modes.
Privilege Level: General read-only user.
Usage Guidelines: The number of lines specified only applies to the current CLI session. Other
users are unaffected by changes to the display length.
If you set the page length to 0 to disable paging, do not change the terminal window size.
Changing window size restores the terminal length to that of the window and re-enables paging.
Examples:
HP-IB# terminal length 66
Defaults: The default is 24 lines per screen.
Related Commands: “more” (page 206)
“show logging>” (page 169)
“show system-services” (page 173)
terminal time-out
Synopsis: The terminal time-out command sets a limit for inactivity allowed during a
CLI session.
Syntax: terminal time-out int
terminal no time-out
int is a number between 1 and 100000 that indicates the number of minutes of inactivity allowed
before automatically closing the CLI session. no timeout resets the session limit for inactivity to
the default.
Command Modes: User-execute and privileged-execute modes.
Privilege Level: General read-write user.
Usage Guidelines: Changes to this parameter are applied immediately to all users, whether
logged in now or who log in later.
Note that system time-outs may still apply if you are using Telnet or SSH to connect to the system.
Examples:
HP-IB# terminal time-out 60
Defaults: The default time-out interval is 15 minutes.
Related Commands: “show system-services” (page 173)
trace
Synopsis: The trace command tracks internal system program modules that are called for
a specific interface card. This feature is intended primarily for program debug under the direction
of Support personnel.
Syntax: trace app app module mod level lev flowmask val card card
app is an integer indicating the internal application to trace.
