Administrator Command Formats 

Use of the Administration commands is described on the following pages.

BURST 

Use 

Use this command to print copies of undelivered mail from the In Tray of
General Delivery.  A copy of the specified message is printed for each
local user in the Distribution List whose name is not recognized by HP
Desk.  Each printed copy of the message has the intended recipient's name
printed as a header to the message, as follows:

     PECK, Joanne / USCORP/LE - HPDesk lost mail print.
     --------------------------------------------------

You can then try to deliver the printed copies of the message to the
intended recipients by hand.

To use the BURST command, type BURST and specify the item you want to
print by number or subject.

Examples 

     INTRAY > BURST 7

     INTRAY > BURST "DELIVERIES"

EXECUTE 

Use 

This command is used to run an MPE program from within HP Desk,
particularly those that require an INFO string--rather than using the MPE
RUN command.  No special capabilities are required, but you need to be
configured with MPE access.  other special capabilities are required.
After the program has run, you'll be returned returned to the area of HP
Desk from which you left.

To use the EXECUTE command, in any area of HP Desk, type:

     EXECUTE program infostring 

where:

program       is the name of the program, fully qualified with group and
              account.  Full qualification is not needed if it's in the
              PUB group of the SYS account.

infostring    is any text supplied in the INFO=" " parameter of the MPE
              RUN command.

Examples of Execute Command 

     WORKAREA > EXECUTE TDP

or:

     CABINET > EXECUTE FCOPY FROM=REPFILE;TO=MEMOFILE

INSTALL 

Use 

This command to installs items of any of the following categories:
script, abbreviations, Help pages, Help keywords, forms, or encryptors.

An installed item is accessible to all HP Desk users who are members of
the capability groups for which the item is installed.  Installed items
are listed by using the SYSTEMLIST command or deleted by using the REMOVE
command.

To use the command you must have administration capability for the item
you want to install.  So you must have forms installation capability to
install forms, script installation capability to install scripts or
abbreviations, Help installation capability to install Help pages or
keywords.  The System Administrator can install any category of item.  In
addition, you can only install an item for capability groups for which
you yourself are a member.  For example, to install an abbreviation for
the user-defined capability group called Personnel, you must be a member
of the Personnel group as well as being a member of the Administration
group.  The use of the INSTALL command is described in detail for each
option in the HP DeskManager Customization manual.

     COPY SCRIPT FROM > "SCRIPT2"
     Which area do you want to copy the item from?
        1 Work Area
        2 Filing Cabinet
     Please choose one, press return, or type // to quit >> 1
     Enter the command name for the script > MULTICPY
     Is this script to be an application? (Yes) > Y
     Enter a description > PRINTS COPY OF MESSAGE FOR EACH ADDRESSED
     USER
     Enter the group names who may access this new command:
         (Type // to terminate the list).
     Group: Everyone
     Group: //
     Script command MULTICPY installed.

REMOVE 

Use 

This command allows you to remove any category of installed item, whether
it was installed by you, by another user, or by Hewlett-Packard.  Removed
items are deleted and are no longer accessible to users.  Help keywords
and abbreviations are totally lost by removal; with other items any
original copy will remain.

To use the command you must have the administration capability for the
item you want to remove.  For example, you must have forms installation
capability to remove forms, script installation capability to remove
scripts or abbreviations, Help installation capability to remove Help
pages or keywords.  The System Administrator has the capability to remove
any category of item.  In addition, you can only remove an item for
capability groups of which you yourself are a member.  For example, to
remove an abbreviation that is installed for the user-defined capability
group called Personnel, you must be a member of the Personnel group as
well as being a member of the Administration group.

|       allows you to remove.  The full list of categories is only     |

|   3.  Do you wish to remove it? (No)>                                |
|                                                                      |
|       HP Desk asks you to confirm that you mean to remove that item. |
|       Type Y to confirm.                                             |
________________________________________________________________________

            

Example 

For example, to remove a form from HP Desk, do the following:

     Workarea > REMOVE
     What type of item do you wish to remove?
          1  Script file
          2  Abbreviation
          3  Help page
          4  Help keyword
          5  Standard form file
          6  Encryption program
     Please type a number to indicate your choice, <RETURN> to stop >>5
     Enter the description > PARKING SURVEY
     Description: parking survey
     Do you wish to remove it? (No) > Y

     Form removed.

SCRIPT 

Use 

This command is used to run a script file, particularly script files that
have not been installed on the system.  No special capabilities are
required.  Once the script has run, you return to the area of HP Desk
from which you left (unless the script file put you into another area).

To use the SCRIPT command:

Type SCRIPT "filename" in any area of HP Desk

where:

filename is the name of a script file in the Work Area, in quotes.

Example 

To execute an installed script file called MULTICPY, type:

     INTRAY > SCRIPT "MULTICPY"

SYSTEMLIST 

Use 

This command lists any chosen category of installed item, either to the
screen or to a printer.  The list identifies the item, gives its
description if one was supplied, and lists the groups who can access the
item.

To use the command you must have the administration capability for the
category of item you want to list.  So you must have forms installation
capability to list forms, script installation capability to list scripts
or abbreviations, Help installation capability to list Help pages or
keywords.  The System Administrator can list any category of item.  In
addition, you can only list items for capability groups of which you
yourself are a member.  So if you wish to list abbreviations, but are not
a member of a user-defined capability group called Personnel, you will
not see any abbreviations installed for that group.
