Can you be more clear on executing this command. I have started the daemon in a command prompt which enters into listening mode and no editing allowed after that.
 
Can you please let me how can I execute from chain2?

Dear Chun,
i have a similar case ,

when chain2 running ,the cli windows dont allow to run any command ,either kill the running chain2 and  run multichaind chain1@172.26.72.94:2787 -daemon or in a new CLI pass the multichaind chain1@172.26.72.94:2787 -daemon,and in both case it is similar  running chain 1 .

Can you please help by providing more details ,on how to run the multichaind chain1@172.26.72.94:2787 -daemon from chain2 running CLI

You can try using the interactive mode for the node by using the multichain-cli [chain-name] command. I'm not sure if I understood your problem correctly though.
