console command via Simpl


 

Hi
Is it possible to send a direct console command via the Simpl program?
Thanks
M?


 

Sure - use a console symbol and your preferred?method of generating serial strings.

Make sure you have special symbols turned on in your Simpl preferences if you want to find it in the folders, should you forget the speedkey.

Under extended symbols, there¡¯s a ¡°console¡± symbol for just that. ?Not all commands are allowed though.


 

ok thanks
trying to send the command initialize
I get back "are you sure" Y or N
Sending Y but nothing happens

Some commands are inhibited via the console symbol ¨C most of them kick back a ¡°blocked from this console type¡± but every once in awhile there¡¯s one that just doesn¡¯t do anything.

?

I would be surprised if they actually let you initialize a processor from programming that easily ¨C seems dangerous (and if you¡¯re doing it as a debt collection method I¡¯d very strongly suggest discussing the pitfalls and risks of that with your attorney especially for residential systems)

It's not for?debt collection or anything like this... I got a request from my client for a project that needs to be active for a period? of time for a system. it's not residential... . cant give out more details as its a hush hush project...
Any other way it can be done ??

SSH to 127.0.0.1. ? Issue whatever command you want. Use the SSH Client.?

Also if you have CTP enabled you can use a TCP/IP client on 41795.?
