SSP operation
Using the console
Example: Performing a ^E command
To execute the
^Ecf command complete the following steps:
1. Press the
Cntrl key and the e key simultaneously.
2. Release the
Cntrl key and the e key.
3. Press the

Watching the console
Any user can display the console via a remote login to the SSP, so it is
possible to have many different processes watching the console at the
same time. This is sometimes referred to as “spy mode.” Only one
window can actually control the console; see “Assuming control of the
console” on page 51, for more information.
To monitor the console from a system other than the SSP, complete the
following steps:
Step 1. Remotely log in to the SSP as sppuser (default password: spp user) with
the following command:
rlogin hostname
login:
sppuser
Password: spp user
Step 2. Access the system console with the following command:
sppconsole
At this point the console is in “spy mode,” meaning the user can only
monitor what is going on at the system console. If commands are entered
the following message is displayed:
[read-only -- use ‘^Ecf’ to attach, ‘^Ec?’ for help]
Display a list of other console users
Step 1. Display a list of other users connected to the console with the following
command:
CTRL-Ecw
Step 2. Exit the session with the following command:
