Using Telnet to Administer the Spawner

The spawner may be controlled and monitored using a telnet client connected to the operator port or service.

Connecting to a Spawner

To connect to an executing spawner, telnet to the operator interface port/service that is specified in the spawner definition.

The following example, run on UNIX, assumes 6337 was specified as the port for the operator: 

   myHost> telnet serverhost 6337
   Trying...
   Connected to serverhost.
   Escape character is '^]'.

After the telnet conversation is active, enter the operator password that is specified. If the operator password was not specified, use sasobjspawn as the password.

Note: You will not be prompted for the password. For example:  

   sasobjspawn
   Operator conversation established

You may now interact with the executing spawner by issuing any of the Available Commands.

Available Commands

The following is a list of commands that are available via the spawner's operator interface:

btrace filename Begin trace. filename is a fully qualified path to the file in which to log spawner activity.
bye Terminate the spawner execution.
etrace End trace.
help List available operator commands.
list List all known servers that are supported by this spawner.
quit Exit operator conversation.
