BUMP user_num

This operator command requests that the equivalent of the Model 204 BUMP command be issued against the indicated user number. This command is useful if a high priority user is looping in an Online, making it impossible for anyone else to do anything.

To “bump” user number 18, for example. issue the command:

BUMP 18

Unlike the Model 204 BUMP command, the operator BUMP command only accepts a single user number, and it does not accept userids or file names. To determine the user number of the running user, issue the MONITOR command. It is recommended that the MONITOR command be issued several times to ensure that a single user is indeed looping and that the performance problem is not simply the result of excess demand.

If a loop situation is caused by a Model 204 bug, it is possible that a BUMP command will fail to force the looping user off the system. In this case, it might be necessary to issue the RESTART command to break the loop.
