Starting REMLOG in Remote Mode

You do not need to start REMLOG in local mode before connecting. Instead, you can supply the connection parameters with the REMLOG command.

Syntax

REMLOG SystemName {UserId{,UserPasswd }} {Account{,AcctPasswd }}

Syntax Elements

These are the same as for the open/connect command.

Remarks

If the connection is refused an error message is displayed and the remlog> prompt repeated. To try again, use the open or connect command. Once a connection is established, the terminal can be used as if directly connected to the remote environment.

Examples

$ remlog SPI-22
Connecting to 'SPI-22'
Escape sequence to local mode is CTRL ]
SPIRIT-22
LOGON PLEASE:

In this example, the connection is to a Series18/19 system. The system name is entered with the REMLOG command and, once the connection is established, the LOGON PLEASE prompt is displayed.

$ remlog SPI-22 SYSPROG,KEY1 ODESSA,OMEGA
Connecting to 'SPI-22'
Escape sequence to local mode is CTRL ]
:

The second example shows how you can specify the system name, user-id and password, and account name and password. Once the connection is established, the colon prompt is displayed.

$ remlog SOVX1 salesman,order
Connecting to 'SOVX1'
Escape sequence to local mode is CTRL ]
SALES DEPT SOV
To return to UNIX enter 'UNIX'
LOGON PLEASE:

In the third example, the remote 'system' is the SovereignX environment on an SX system. The user-id (salesman) and any associated password (order) must be supplied, either on the command line, as in the example, or via a network user-id set up in the USERS-FILE. If they are not supplied the UNIX login prompt is displayed.
