Pausing a Session You can put your current session on hold indefinitely and lock your workstation without ending your session. When you put your session on hold, your screen is cleared but your session is maintained exactly as it was. Any applications you started continue to run, and you can resume working without having to recreate your screen environment. To put the current session on hold, choose Pause from the Session Manager's Session menu. Your screen is cleared and the Pause Session dialog box is displayed. To continue your session, type your password and press Return. If you make a mistake while typing, click on the Clear button to cancel what you've entered so far. Then retype your password correctly and press Return.
