Note: Command completion only works for commands; it is not effective for keywords.

Displaying Command History

The Topspin system “remembers” the last 40 commands you enter.

Display the commands in the command history by using the following command:

history

You can also use up and down arrows to toggle between commands.

Setting Terminal Parameters

The TopspinOS can be customized to set the number of lines displayed at one time by commands like

more

(used to prevent data from scrolling quickly out of view). The number of lines specified only

applies to the current CLI session. Other users are unaffected by changes to the display length.

You can also set a limit for inactivity during a CLI session. Changes to this parameter are applied
immediately to all users, whether logged in now or who log in later.

1. Enter the

length

command

length

int

is a number between

and

512

that indicates the number of lines to display at one time.

It is recommended you set the terminal page length to

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.

resets the terminal length to the default (

lines per page).

time-out

int

is a number between

and

100000

that indicates the number of minutes of

inactivity allowed before automatically closing the CLI session.

resets the session limit for inactivity to the default (

minutes).
