Syntax logon {(p)}<return>
channel, account name:
Category TCL
Type Verb
Description logs on a port other than the one currently being used onto a specific account.
Options p  Starts process as a "phantom" port. Note that this does not have the same meaning as what is often considered a "phantom", where the process spawns a new process workspace. Rather, this option requires an existing unused port, just like any other port being used for a remote logon. In this context, "phantom" means that it is treated like a Spooler process. This means that the logon sequence is suppressed, which turns off the display of the time and date logged on, the "welcome" message" and the automatic update of the ACC file. (R83)

Example logon<return>
line, account: 0,SYSPROG
Warnings (R83) as of release 2.2, a change has been made to the way the logon process is handled. After three unsuccessful logon attempts, the port is rendered "inactive", preventing further attempts. To "re-activate" the port, press any key (other than the <return>) followed by two <return>'s.
