LOGOFF CP Privilege Class: Any Use the LOGOFF command to terminate a virtual machine session and disconnect your virtual machine from the VM/370 system. The format of the LOGOFF command is: +----------+------------------------------------------------------------------+ | LOGoff | [HOld] | | LOGout | | +----------+------------------------------------------------------------------+ where: HOld retains the connection for a switched communication line to enable you to log on without redialing the VM/370 system. Usage notes: 1. This command causes all active spool files to be closed, temporary disks to be relinquished, dedicated devices to be detached, and an accounting record to be created for the user. 2. You should always log off of your terminal in addition to turning power off on the terminal. Terminal power off is not synonymous with logoff. If you turn power off at the terminal instead of logging off, logoff occurs by one of the following methods: o Typewriter Terminal and Remote 3270 Display Terminal -- Logoff takes place after a 15-minute interval has elapsed. This occurs if no attempt is made to turn terminal power on and re-establish communications with the still logged-on virtual machine during this 15-minute period. o Local 3270 Display Terminal -- Logoff only takes place 15 minutes after VM/370 discovers that the terminal has been turned off and then only if a read is outstanding (that is, VM/370 attempts to send a message to the terminal, but gets back an error code indicating that the terminal is turned off). Many hours may pass before VM/370 discovers that the terminal is turned off. 3. If an I/O device (such as a disk or tape drive) drops ready while it is processing virtual I/O activity, any virtual machine users performing I/O on that device are unable to continue processing or to log off. The LOGOFF command is not effective, in this case, because it does not complete until all waiting I/O is finished. The system operator should determine which I/O device is involved and make the device ready once more to allow the user to log off. Responses: CONNECT= hh:mm:ss VIRTCPU= mmm:ss.hs TOTCPU= mmm:ss.hs where: CONNECT= hh:mm:ss is the actual clock time spent in the current terminal session in hours:minutes: seconds. VIRTCPU= mmm:ss.hs the virtual CPU time used in the current terminal session in minutes:seconds.hundredths of seconds. TOTCPU= mmm:ss.hs the total CPU time (including virtual and overhead) used in the current terminal session in minutes: seconds.hundredths of seconds. These times are either the elapsed time for the entire terminal session or the elapsed time since the ACNT command was entered for this user. LOGOFF AT hh:mm:ss zone weekday mm/dd/yy is the response for a logoff. GRAF raddr ยฆ LINE raddr ยฆ DEV rid LOGOFF AS userid USERS = nnn is the normal response to the primary system operator. DEV rid specifies the resource identification of a 3704/3705 line. GRAF raddr ยฆ LINE raddr ยฆ DEV rid LOGOFF AS userid USERS = nnn FORCED is the response to the primary system operator if the logoff is forced by a line timeout or a terminal power-off. DEV rid specifies the resource identification of a 3704/3705 line. USER DSC LOGOFF AS userid USERS = nnn is the response to the primary system operator when logoff occurs for a user who had previously disconnected using the DISCONN command.
