Restrict a target to your own use, or share it with others. See

Share a target with others. See 3.5.2 Sharing and Reserving
Target Servers, p.82.
Kill the currently selected target server. CAUTION: Close any
tool sessions that use a particular target before you kill that
target server. Killing a target server does not immediately
destroy any attached tools, but the tools lose the ability to
interact with the target. There is no way to reconnect a new
target server to such orphaned tool sessions.
Re-initialize the selected target server and reboot its target.

3.5.1 Configuring a Target Server
To use a new target, you must first ensure the host and target are connected
properly. The details are unique to each target, but 2.4.2 Networking the Host and
Target, p.26 discusses some of the issues that are frequently involved. Your BSP
also contains a target-information reference that describes what to do for that
particular target. See Help>Manuals contents>BSP Reference.
To configure and launch a target server, select Create… from the Target menu, or
press the launcher’s button. The launcher displays the form shown in
Figure 3-4. Many configuration options are available, but you can often skip all the
optional parameters, specifying only the target name (and perhaps the serial
device, if your target agent is configured for the WDB serial protocol).
Each time you specify a configuration option, the Target server launch command box
near the bottom of the form is updated automatically to show the tgtsvr command
options that capture your chosen configuration. (For text fields, the command line
is updated when you select another field or press RETURN.) The tgtsvr command
is the underlying command that runs in the background for each target server as a
UNIX daemon. The text in the Target server launch command box can be edited. Its
display has the following uses:

You can copy the text displayed, and insert it in any UNIX shell script to
launch a target server with this configuration automatically.
You can use the command-line display to explore the meanings of server
options interactively, in conjunction with the tgtsvr reference documentation
(either online, or in D. Tornado Tools Reference).
