overlays

[mustang971]

How do I set up the switch so that one overlay can see what the other overlay is doing at the same time?? I remembered how to do it a while back but i have since forgotten.

Thanx

Just type in WHO without being in a overlay

before you can watch the other login you have to use the MON x command at the > prompt. the x refers to the tty port of the other user, then you can monitor as long as you are the #1 login or using the level 2 pw.

>who

PORT ID  OVERLAY  NAME       SPRT  MONITOR
 TTY 00      0    JOHN
 TTY 02      0    HILL
>mon 2

*** MONITOR ON TTY 02 FROM TTY 00 13:17

of course, in 17 mulit_user must be on (ld 17 prt ovly) and you have to be logged in

And you can also send that user a message across your pbx (to get out of the overlay for instance)

>send all, then type the msg, carriage return sends.. here at the hosp i don't bother sending msgs.. 99 times out of 100 the screen is closed and the tech is surfing tek-tips..

>forc 12 would force tty 12 out of the load and log him out.. of course i can see the other 2 techs, forc only works from pwd2

If I may John, you need to be logged in with pw2 for that. Just a clarification for the poster.

All,
The forc amd mon commands can be used by any user as long as the OPT is set under the users pwd. At the OPT prompt set them as FORCA and MONA and you dont have to worry about who has level 1 or 2 password.
