Modifying Terminal Properties
To terminate a CLI session, follow these steps:
Step 1
Log in to the CLI using an account with administrator privileges.
Step 2
Find the CLI ID number associated with the login session:
sensor#
show users
CLI ID User Privilege
* 13533 jtaylor administrator
15689 jsmith operator
20098 viewer viewer
Step 3
Terminate the CLI session of jsmith:
sensor#

Message{}: Sorry! I need to terminate your session.
sensor#
Step 4
The user jsmith receives the following message from the administrator jtaylor:
sensor#
***
***
*** Termination request from jtaylor
***
Sorry! I need to terminate your session.
Modifying Terminal Properties
Use the
terminal [length]
screen length
command to modify terminal properties for a login session. The
screen length
option lets you set the number of lines that appear on the screen before the --
more--
prompt
is displayed. A value of zero results in no pause in the output. The default value is 24 lines.
Note
You are not required to specify the screen length for some types of terminal sessions because the
specified screen length can be learned by some remote hosts.
To modify the terminal properties, follow these steps:
Step 1
Log in to the CLI.
Step 2
To have no pause between multi-screen outputs, use 0 for the
screen length
value:
sensor#
terminal length 0
Note
The screen length values are not saved between login sessions.
