+ </head>
+ <body bgcolor="white">
+ <h1>Using multiple consoles</h1>
+ <h3>Why?</h3>
+ Using more than one console can be useful if you want to issue a
+ command during the simulated program is executed.
+ <h3>How?</h3>
+ <p>To get multiple consoles you have to execute the simulator in the
+ <i>background</i> like daemons run in UNIX systems. The simulator
+ then will listen and wait for network connection requests and provide
+ console functions for network connections.
+ </p>
+ <p>To run <i>&mu;Csim</i> in the background you have to use <a href="invoke.html#Zoption">-Z</a>
+ option for the simulator:
+ </p>
+ <pre><font color="blue">pigmy$</font> s51 -Z 5555 foo.hex
+</pre>
+ In this case s51 runs in foreground in your command interpreters point
+ of view. Of course you can run the program really in the background:
+ <pre><font color="blue">pigmy$</font> s51 -Z 5555 foo.hex &amp;
+</pre>
+ The parameter of the <a href="invoke.html#Zoption">-Z</a> option is a
+ port number. This can be number of any unused port of your machine. If
+ the specified port is already occupied then following message appears:
+ <pre><font color="blue">pigmy$</font> s51 -Z 5555
+<font color="red">bind: Address already in use</font>
+</pre>
+ In this case you have to use an other number.
+ <p>Let's suppose you have found a free port number and the simulator
+ listens on it. Now go to somewhere else, at least to an other window
+ and connect to the simulator:
+ </p>
+ <pre><font color="blue">other_machine$</font> telnet pigmy 5555
+</pre>
+ First parameter to the telnet command is the name of the machine where
+ the simulator is running on. It can be <tt>localhost</tt> if you are
+ on the same machine or the fully qualified host name if you are at the
+ other end of the world. Second parameter is the number of the port
+ where the simulator is listening. It must be the same number which was
+ specified as parameter of the <a href="invoke.html#Zoption">-Z</a>
+ option when the simulator was started (see above).
+ <p>Connecting to the simulator you get a command console:
+ </p>
+ <pre><font color="blue">pigmy$</font> telnet pigmy 5555
+<font color="green">Trying 127.0.0.1...
+Connected to pigmy.talker.bt.

+</pre>
+ <h3>What to do with it?</h3>
+ Obviously you can telnet into the simulator as many times as many
+ command consoles you want. You can start the execution using one
+ console and while the program is executed you can, for example, modify
+ ports on the other console.
+ <h3>Stop</h3>
+ Using <a href="cmd.html#q">quit (q)</a> command you can not stop the
+ simulator. It just stops the actual console and the simulator
+ continues to listen for incoming network connections.
+ <p>To stop the simulator completely you have to use <a href="cmd.html#kill">kill</a>
+ command. Note that if you stop the
+ simulator then all the active network connections (all other consoles)
+ will stop.
+ </p>
+ <h3>Tricks</h3>
+ You can get a console on the terminal where you started the
+ simulator. To do this you must explicitly ask the simulator to open a
+ console on the standard input/output. You can do this using <a href="invoke.html#coption">-c</a>
+ option and specify the actual
+ terminal as parameter for it:
+ <pre><font color="blue">pigmy$</font> s51 -Z 5555 foo.hex -c /dev/tty
+</pre>
