Sending a break to a Solaris client

Hi,

I've just started using conserver (V7.2.6). Most of our hosts are
Solaris boxes connected to a WTI console server (CMS-16 model).
The conserver.cf file resembles the following:

LOGDIR=/var/log/consoles
TIMESTAMP=1ha

holmium :|telnet wti11.admin.sc.p4pnet.net 2103::&.log::1
lithium :|telnet wti3.admin.sc.p4pnet.net 2109::&.log::1
radon :|telnet wti10.admin.sc.p4pnet.net 2104::&.log::1

%%

allow: 10.0.0.0/8
allow: 172.16.0.0/12
allow: 192.168.0.0/16
allow: p4pnet.net

I can successfully connect to a console, but when I send
a break using "CTRL-e c l 0", it's ignored (though I do
see a "halt sent" message). I tried setting the break field
to "2", which some postings suggested was an alternate
break sequence for Solaris, but that doesn't work either.

Nothing been's done on the Solaris side to disable breaks .
Am I overlooking something obvious. Thanks ...

-Richard

Hi,

I've attached my "solution" to this, which I sent to the list some time
back.

You're probably better off using direct connections instead of piping
telnet, though.

what's being referenced here is the internal socket communications that
conserver can do. to get that, you just need to have a config file
like:

holmium :!wti11.admin.sc.p4pnet.net:2103:&.log::1
lithium :!wti3.admin.sc.p4pnet.net :2109:&.log::1
radon :!wti10.admin.sc.p4pnet.net:2104:&.log::1

then a '^ec0' or '^ec1' will be able to send a break (since there's no
external telnet "in the way"). good luck!

Thanks Bryan. That did indeed do the trick ...
