APC Command Line Interface User Manual

To log off from the CLI, use one of the following 
commands: 

exit

, 

logout

, 

logoff

, 

quit

, or 

bye

. 

You will be logged off automatically in the 
following circumstances:

• If  the  inactivity logout time of the Switched 

Rack PDU (3 minutes by default, or a 
configured time of 1 to 10 minutes) expires 
without keyboard input or input through the 
mouse within the CLI interface. Movement of 
the mouse pointer or clicking the mouse 
without actual input does not restart the timer 
for inactivity logout.

• If the value yes is configured for the option 

logoutAfterCommandComplete in the KVM 
pm.APCPDU configuration file, and the CLI 
completes executing the command that you 
entered. The default for this option is no. A 
value of yes provides maximum availability of 
the text-based interface to other users.

• If your connection to the Switched Rack PDU 

is through Telnet or SSH version 1 or 2, and 
there is a log-on serially to the Switched Rack 
PDU CLI to execute a command. Serial access 
to the CLI always has priority over remote 
access.
