JNOS Commands Manual - The L Commands

The L Command Set

lock [ password <"password_string"> ]

        Lock the keyboard or define a password string.

        If 'password' is given then <password_string> is saved as the
        unlock string.

        If no parameters are supplied, the keyboard becomes locked when a
        password was specified earlier.

        If the keyboard is locked, the password is requested.  If a
        correct password is supplied, the keyboard becomes unlocked.

        The setting of the password and locking of the keyboard can only
        been done at the system console keyboard or in the /autoexec.nos
        startup file.  The password can not been displayed.




log [ON | off]

        Turn on or off system logging. Log files are created daily and
        stored in the logs directory.




look [user | socket#] (<cmd>)

     This command allows peeking into a user session on the BBS or
into any non-local socket.  'look [user | socket#]' brings up a window
which follows the specified user or socket.  If looking in on a bbs
user, you can initiate a 'chat' session with that user.

       There are a few commands available:

       /? or /h - will show a sort help line
       /m <msg> - send a message to user. (only if 'looking' at user)
                  User sees: ': message text'

       /c       - initiate a 'chat' with user. The bbs will suspend
                  while you talk with the user.

       /q or /b - if in 'chat' mode, finishes it and returns the user
                  to the bbs.
                  if in 'look' mode, finishes looking at user/socket.

     Note: if not in 'chat' mode, all non-command strings will be
     ignored.

     Looking at non-bbs sockets might be helpful debugging things or
     seeing what an ftp user or a smtp user is doing.

     Note that often you won't see what you expect: e.g., ftp user
     sockets don't show the data transferred including directory
     listings because data transfer occurs on a separate socket.
     (Not seeing it is NOT a bug, for once...8) )



lzw

        Lzw (Lempel-Ziv-Welch) is the data compression capability for
        some ASCII-mode sockets.  At present, LZW compression is
        supported by JNOS SMTP, FTP, NNTP and POP3.



        lzw mode [ fast | compact]                       Default: compact

        Display or set the compression method used in data compression
        for specific sockets.



        lzw bits []                              Default: 9

        Display or set the number of bits used for the compression size.
        The more bits defined the larger the table space needed.  Range
        is 9 to 16.


        lzw trace [ on | off ]                           Default: off

        Display or set the lzw trace flag.  If set on, compression
        statistics will be displayed on the console when a compressed
        socket is closed.
