Displays information about client nodes that are connected to
services.
Format
SHOW SESSIONS [serviceName] [device-or-partitionName]]
serviceName
The name by which the service is known to the local area network.
The service name can consist of alphanumeric characters, dollar
signs ($), and wildcards. It can be up to 255 characters in
length. If omitted, the service name defaults to all services.
In the InfoServer utility, wildcards, where supported, are those
used in OpenVMS. The % character matches exactly one character.
The * character matches zero or more characters.
device-or-partitionName
The device or partition name is the name of the OpenVMS disk
device or partition as it is to be known to the local area
network. The name of the device or partition that you enter must
have been created previously.
Explanations of device and partition names follow.
o Device names
Devices served to the local area network are OpenVMS disk
devices; use OpenVMS device names when you specify an
InfoServer device name. Note that the device name must either
match exactly the name that the SHOW SERVICES command displays
or must contain wildcards.
In the InfoServer utility, wildcards, where supported, are
those used in OpenVMS. The % character matches exactly one
character. The * character matches zero or more characters.
A disk specification must end with a colon.
o Partition names
Partitions are container files that are served to the network.
As such, they have OpenVMS file names with a default file type
of ".ESS$PARTITION". Partition names, including the device,
directory, and file name, can be no more than 242 characters
in length.
Support for partitions is limited in this version. HP strongly
suggests that you use LD devices to support partitioned hard
drives. See the DCL command LD HELP for more information.
2.1 - /ALL
Display all services that match the selection criteria even if
no clients have connections. If this qualifier is omitted, only
those services with clients connected will be displayed.
$ INFOSERVER SHOW SESSIONS
HUDSON [ODS-2] _MOVERS$LDA1: [ 1 Connection]
1 service found.
$ INFOSERVER SHOW SESSIONS/ALL
HUDSON [ODS-2] _MOVERS$LDA1: [ 1 Connection]
BAFFIN [ODS-2] _MOVERS$LDA1:
FUNDY [ODS-2] _MOVERS$LDA1:
3 services found.
The command in the first example displays only the session
that has a client connection, HUDSON. The command in the
second example displays all sessions, even those with no client
connections.
