Creating, Modifying, and Deleting Groups 

A group consists of files with common characteristics or usage.  An
account can contain more than one group.  Group IDs can be created,
modified, and deleted by users with system manager or account manager
capability.

Creating a Group 

The syntax for creating a new group in the account that you are already
logged on to is:

     NEWGROUP groupname[.accountname][;PASS=password]

Because you are logged on to the account, you need not specify it in the
command.  The group name is a required parameter; the password is not.

The syntax for creating a new group in an account that you are not logged
on to is:

     NEWGROUP groupname.accountname;PASS=password 

Modifying a Group 

The syntax for modifying a group attribute, the CPU time limit for
instance, is:

     ALTGROUP groupname;CPU=cputimelimit 

where cputimelimit is a number.

Deleting a Group 

The syntax for deleting a group is:

     PURGEGROUP groupname[.accountname]

With two exceptions, this command purges the group and the files that
belong to it:

 *  If anyone is logged on to the group when the deletion is attempted,
    the files in the group will be purged but not the group itself.

 *  If any of the group's files are being used when the deletion is
    attempted, the inactive files will be purged but not the active files
    or the group.
