finish

The finish command ends your Autolog session. finish does the obvious task of exiting the Autolog program. finish also performs a number of cleaning-up and finishing tasks.

finish will perform a number of tasks automatically. For instance, if the remote system was running Slave because you were transferring files with transmit or receive, the command to exit Slave is sent to the remote system. If you specified a bye file to use before hanging up, the bye file is executed.

finish will hang up the modem. If you used the modem at command to tell Autolog your type of modem, finish will undo any temporary changes Autolog may have made to your modem settings. If you made changes to the communications port, such as changing the baud rate or parity, finish restores the port to its former state. finish frees your communications port so others can use it.

quit

The quit command will exit Autolog, but does not perform most of the other cleaning-up tasks. quit may not hang up the modem (use the hangup command before you quit or the finish command if you want to hang up the modem and exit Autolog).

Note On UNIX systems, some communications settings may be returned to system defaults when you quit.

chain

You can end your Autolog session by using the chain command:
 
chain system command

chain will perform a finish, exit Autolog, then execute the system command you specified.

Enter the system command just as you would at the system or shell prompt, for example:
 

chain run myprog
chain print msg.log

Note The system command can be used if you need to temporarily return to system level but don't want to end your communications session. To permanently end your Autolog session, use finish, quit, or chain.
