Hi We are running SLES10 under z/VM. At the weekend, I logged onto the Linux guest via a z/VM 3270 session, and made the mistake of entering a PING command with no count parameter so it just PINGed forever. I have no SSH access so was unable to logon anywhere else to kill the process. Eventually I just did a #CP LOGOFF and re-booted the guest as nobody else was logged on, but this is obviously a drastic solution.
Today I have managed to get into vi which obviously doesn’t work on a 3270 screen. I can no find no way out of it. If I do #CP DISC and log back in again it’s still in vi. There must be a way to interrupt a Linux command (like Ctrl-C on a putty session) but I can’t find it. Any offers?
