QUIT—End the TELNET session

Purpose

Use the QUIT subcommand to end the TELNET session.


>>-Quit--------------------------------------------------------><

There are no parameters for this subcommand.

You should use the QUIT subcommand carefully because it can create an MVS™ error condition. If you do not reconnect within a timeout period, your TELNET session is canceled.
If you are logged on to an application on a remote host, and that application is defined as disconnectable to VTAM® and TCP⁄IP, you can use the QUIT subcommand to disconnect from the remote host without logging off the application.
When you want to end a logon session with the host, use the logoff procedure of the host.

For more information about defining applications to VTAM and TCP⁄IP, see the z/OS Communications Server: IP Configuration Reference.
