Using the MSS Interactive Connections

5.2.2.2 Backward, Forward, and Switches
The Backward and Forward commands, when entered at the Local> prompt, allow users
to navigate through current sessions.
You can think of a user’s open sessions as a list from the earliest to the most recently
created. Forward refers to a more recent connection, while Backward refers to a session
started earlier. The list is also circular; going forward from the most recently created
session takes you to the earliest session, and going backward from the earliest session
resumes the most recent session. For example, user Bob connects to host Thor. He then
breaks to local mode and connects to host Duff. After working, he breaks and connects to
host Conan. His session list, shown with the Show Session command, would be:
Thor
Duff
Conan
Conan is the current session, meaning the session to which the user is currently connected
(or the last session the user was in before entering local mode). If Bob pressed the backward
key while working in Conan, he would resume his session on Duff. If he pressed the
forward key while working in Conan, he would move to his session on Thor.
The Change Backward Switch and Change Forward Switch commands define keys
used to switch sessions without returning to local mode. Backward and forward switch keys
must be explicitly defined. To specify a control character, use escaped hex (\xx). The
example below sets Ctrl-B (ASCII character 0x02) as the backward switch character and
Ctrl-Z (ASCII character 0x1a) as the forward switch character.
Figure 5-6: Defining Switches
Note:
The MSS intercepts and processes switch keys; it does not pass them
to the remote host.
5.2.2.3 Disconnect and Resume
Users need a method of controlling and disconnecting sessions from local mode. For
example, if a session on a remote host freezes or hangs while executing code, the user can
exit the session using the Break key, then terminate the connection by entering the
Disconnect command at the Local> prompt. A user may resume a session after returning
to local mode by entering the Resume command. Both commands can affect any active
sessions, not just the current session.
