 3 Syntax as a command:  bump target {mm} {message}
 4 
 5 
 6 Function:  logs out a user at a specified time.  It does this by
 7 causing the initializer to signal itself to bump the user.  If the
 8 initializer is operating improperly and cannot handle logins, bump
 9 probably will not operate properly either.  This command can be used
10 only in ring 4.

13 Arguments:
14 target
15    must be one of the following listed below.
16    Person_id Project_id, Person_id.Project_id
17       bumps the user with the specified name and project.  The star
18       convention may be used for either or both names.  Users with the
19       nobump privilege are sent a message informing them that an
20       attempt to bump them has been made.
21    channel_id
22       bumps the user on the channel whose name is channel_id.  These
23       names can be either terminal or network channel names.  This
24       argument overrides the nobump attribute.  See the Multics System
25       Maintenance Procedures manual, Order No.  AM81, for information
26       on channel names.

29    mpx NAME
30       bumps all users whose terminals are connected through the
31       multiplexer specified by NAME.  The NAME argument must be the
32       name of a multiplexer or an FNP.
33 mm
34    is the number of minutes to elapse, after which the user is bumped.
35    If MM is omitted, the user is bumped immediately.
36 message
37    is a string that is typed on the user's terminal.  If message is
38    omitted, the user is not told why he is being bumped.

41 Notes:  Sometimes, the bump command appears to work -- the message
42 "Person_id.Project_id bumped" is printed -- but the user is not logged
43 out.  If this happens, try the remove command on the user's terminal
44 channel.

46 See the abs bump and abs cancel commands for instructions on bumping
47 absentee users.  See the logout command for instructions on logging out
48 daemon processes.
