Ending a remote control session
Either the host or remote user can end a session. Ending a session returns you to
the main Symantec pcAnywhere window.
If you are connected to a computer that runs Windows, the end of session options
that are configured for the host connection item determine whether the host waits
for another connection or is canceled. The caller rights that are configured for
the host connection item determine whether the remote user is allowed to cancel
the host.
