h1. Menu Commands Note that it is currently planned to completely replace the menu system for the next version of wconsd, so these commands will be changing. h2. close close If the Stop serial port is current open, this command will close it and stop any serial communications. communications h2. copyright copyright Print the copyright notice h2. data data *5|6|7|8* Sets the Set number of data bits. This command will not have any affect until the port is closed and re-opened. bits h2. help Show some quick help for the menu commands h2. kill_conn kill_conn *Connection ID* Stop a given connection's serial communications. This will close the serial port being used by the given *connection ID* and thus allow someone else to open that port. This command can be used when an existing session has crashed, or if someone else has logged in and is blocking your work. Since there is no authentication, this command is obviously open to abuse. communications h2. open open *[port number]* Connect or resume communications with a serial port. If no port number is specified then the current default port number is used. If an serial port is already open, this will just resume communication with that port. h2. parity parity *no|even|odd|mark|space* Set the serial parity. This command will not have any affect until the port is closed and re-opened. parity h2. port port *port number* Set serial port number. This command will not have any affect until the port is closed and re-opened. number h2. quit quit Exit from this session h2. show_conn_table show_conn_table Show the connections table. This table is mostly used for internal debugging information, however it contains the connection ID for all the current connections, which can be used with the *kill_conn* command <pre style="background-color:black; color:green"> w000c2989d2df> show_conn_table slot state id Menu mThr Net net netTh Ser serial serialTh Echo netrx nettx ---- ----- -- ---- ---- --- ---- ----- --- ------ -------- ---- ----- ----- 0 ACTIV 1 YES 1884 OK 1900 0 OK 1848 1840 YES 76 1886 1 ACTIV 2 YES 1860 OK 1872 0 -1 0 YES 14 783 2 0 0 0 0 0 0 NO 0 0 3 0 0 0 0 0 0 NO 0 0 4 0 0 0 0 0 0 NO 0 0 5 0 0 0 0 0 0 NO 0 0 6 0 0 0 0 0 0 NO 0 0 7 0 0 0 0 0 0 NO 0 0 </pre> * *state* is *ACTIV* if the slot contains valid data * *id* contains the connection ID for this slot * *Menu* is *YES* if this connection is currently at the menu prompt * *Net* is *OK* if there is a network connection for this slot and signals that the other two net columns contain valid data.
