terminal width characters

Usage Guidelines

The terminal monitor command allows you to enable or disable the display of syslog messages in the current session for either Telnet or serial access to the firewall console. Use the logging monitor command to enable or disable various levels of syslog messages to the console; use the terminal no monitor command to disable the messages on a per session basis. Use terminal monitor to restart the syslog messages for the current session.

The terminal width command sets the width for displaying command output. The terminal width is controlled by the command: terminal width nn, where nn is the width in characters. If you enter a line break, it is not possible to backspace to the previous line.


Examples

The following example shows enabling logging and then disabling logging only in the current session with the terminal no monitor command:

     logging monitor
    terminal no monitor
