ENDING A GUI SESSION FOLLOWING AN ABNORMAL SESSION ENDING
Summary: This procedure will help the user log back onto the GUI system after an abnormal
session ending. An abnormal session ending might have occurred by operator error, time out, or
other unforeseen events. In this event, it might be necessary to free up the GUI and log back in.
If the NMIC for some reason reboots and the GUI goes down, the user only needs to log in and
start the GUI as usual.
If the session is ended because the machine that the GUI was exported to was rebooted/crashed,
the GUI process may or may not shut down. If the GUI process still exists then:
1. Log onto the NMIC as the root user.
2. The administrator can display all GUI users that are currently logged onto the system by
entering the following command at the root bash prompt exactly as shown:
• manageGui
3. The system displays all active users one through five and indicates the “1
st
Privileged User”
as shown in Figure 778-1. This is the first Level 3 user who logged onto the system and in
doing such is the only one that can make topology changes and perform protection
switches/restoration. If logged on as the root user, you have the privilege of “killing” the
GUI sessions of other users at this point. The system prompts the administrator to type in
the number of the user top boot off (numbers 1 to 5).
Stop! You have completed this procedure.
