- I usually just type SHOW DISPLAY WSAn:.
-
- Here is an example:
-
- VAX5::RABINOWITZ;1 >> sh disp
-
- Device: WSA32: [super]
- Node: CARP
- Transport: DECNET
- Server: 0
- Screen: 0
-
- VAX5::RABINOWITZ;1 >> sh disp wsa1
-
- Device: WSA1: [exec]
- Node: xncd04
- Transport: tcpip
- Server: 0
- Screen: 0
-
- If you want to be able to use the information for something there is the
- undocumented qualifier /SYMBOL which will create symbols for the
- information. Another example follows:
-
- VAX5::RABINOWITZ;1 >> sh disp wsa1/symb
-
- Device: WSA1: [exec]
- Node: xncd04
- Transport: tcpip
- Server: 0
- Screen: 0
-
- VAX5::RABINOWITZ;1 >> sh symb decw$*
- DECW$DISPLAY_NODE == "xncd04"
- DECW$DISPLAY_SCREEN == "0"
- DECW$DISPLAY_SERVER == "0"
- DECW$DISPLAY_TRANSPORT == "tcpip"
-
- What more could you ask for?
