Suspending VT3K/9000

Once you have entered the VT3K/9000 escape command mode, you can suspend VT3K/9000 to return to your local HP-UX system using job control.

Job control allows you to temporarily return to the original local HP-UX shell from which you invoked VT3K/9000. This shell retains the environment you had set up, any background jobs you left running, and any jobs you left suspended when you invoked VT3K/9000. Job control is available if you use csh or ksh, and lets you work on your local host for as long as you need to before you return to VT3K/9000. For more information about job control, see csh(1) and ksh(1) in the HP-UX Reference or in manpages. In the steps that follow, you can suspend the VT3K/9000 session, enter HP-UX commands on your local host, and return to the VT3K/9000 session.

Enter Ctrl]-z at your MPE system prompt. You return to the original local HP-UX shell from which you invoked VT3K/9000, and your local host displays:
[job_number]+Stoppedvt3kremote_host
Enter your HP-UX commands. Your original local shell executes each command that you enter.
When you want to return to the remote host by resuming your VT3K/9000 session, at your local HP-UX prompt, enter:jobs
This lists the jobs you have running in the background.
Note the job number associated with your suspended VT3K/9000 session.
At your local HP-UX prompt, enter:fg%vt3k_job_number
For example, if you enter:fg%3
Your VT3K/9000 session is placed in the foreground and your local host displays:VT3K/9000 remote_host




	NOTE: If the VT3K/9000 job was listed with a plus sign (+) following the job number, you can just enter `fg` at your local HP-UX prompt. If you have only one VT3K/9000 session running, you can enter `fg%vt3k`. Suspending VT3K/9000 using Ctrl-z does not work if VT3K/9000 is invoked using the `-e` option of hpterm.

Your VT3K/9000 session resumes, returning you to the VT3K/9000 command mode.
