Telnet Commands
The possible send parameters are defined as follows:
send ayt
The send ayt command sends the Telnet command function for “Are You There?” to the
target host. This can be used to determine whether or not the target host is still responding.
The target host is not required to respond to “are you there?" requests, but if it does, you
should see something like the following:
send break
The “send break” command sends the Telnet command function for “BREAK” to the target
host. This can be used to interrupt the current command in progress on the target host. For
example: If the target host is currently streaming out a large directory listing, you can issue
the
send break command to terminate the directory command. Once again, this
functionality is dependent upon the target host’s processing of the “BREAK” control
function.
send escape
The send escape command sends the current escape character for the Telnet session. If
the connection between the local terminal and the remote server is made up of more than
1 individual Telnet connection, this command may be used to “escape” into command
mode of one of the intermediate Telnet connections.
send synch
The send synch command sends the Telnet “SYNCH” signal (the “DM” control function
as TCP urgent data) to the target host. This command may be useful when trying correct a
situation where the target host appears to be in an atypical state of processing.
set
The set command can be used to set certain operating parameters for the current Telnet
session. The format of the set command is set <name> <value> ; where < name > is the
parameter to be set, and < value > is what the parameter should be set equal to.
If no parameters are specified on the “set” command line (or if “set?” is entered), the
following help message is displayed:
