461.0. "Permanent redefinition of break key?" by GIDDAY::PARSONS (Which Space Corps Directive ?) Wed Nov 02 1994 01:00

    
    A customer has reported a problem getting a CTRL-P through to
    one of the VAX's they are monitoring using PCM V1.5.  This 
    system is a VAX 6420 so following note 378 I got them ECO1
    and then got them to use CONS MONITOR/BREAK=something
    
    This worked and they can CONS CONNECT and CTRL-P to halt the
    system.  However after a disconnect, when they next connect
    to the console the re-definition of break appears to be
    lost and they have to keep on re-issuing 
    CONS MONITOR/BREAK=something before each CONNS CONNECT.
    
    Is there any way of permanently redefining the break key?
    
    Thanks,

461.1	Also for Motif GUI ??	60549::SIMMONDS	NPG NOW!	`Wed Nov 02 1994 06:42`	7
	Also, how do you re-define the BREAK key if you only ever CONNECT through the Motif GUI ?? Thanks in advance, (and hope you don't mind this piggybacked on to your base note, Tony.. :) John.
461.2	The answer for Motif	WOTVAX::ELLISM	Are you all sitting too comfybold square on your botty? - Then w	`Wed Nov 02 1994 07:06`	9
	The way you do it from Motif is to turn the C3 editor on then use MB3 on the system that you want to set up the break key on. One option you will get is Modify, select it. You will now be able to define the break key. Don't know about the character cell interface (Sorry Tony) Martin

	Martin is corect for the C3, in the case of the character cell interface, you should use the initialization file, create a file in either SYS$LOGIN, or CONSOLE$USER_DEFAULTS and place in it any of the Monitor commands that you want executed each time you start the Monitor interface, this file is also use by the Connect interface and so should achieve the result you desire. Cheers, Phil

	Take a look at section 6.3 page 6-24 it explains all about customizing the monitor and connect interfaces. Cheers, Phil
