HP Resource Sharing for MPE/iX

SHARE 

The SHARE command can be used to share a disc, share a device, or remove
a share to a disc or device.  You use the SHARE command at the RESMGR>
prompt.  This command has minimal functionality for sharing discs and
devices.  You may prefer to use the SHAREDISC or SHAREDEVICE commands,
which will prompt you for all needed information to share a disc or
device.

Abbreviation:  SH

Where used:  RESMGR>

To share a disc: 

SHARE sharename=path[password][/RWC]

sharename             Name that represents the physical path.  It can be
                      up to 80 alphanumeric characters.

= (equal sign)        Tells the program that you want to share a disc.
                      If you do not include the equal sign, RESMGR
                      understands that you want to share a printer or
                      plotter, and tries to find a printer with a class
                      name matching your sharename entry.

path                  Complete pathname of the directory being shared, in
                      DOS file naming format.  It can be up to 80
                      characters.  The pathname follows the format
                      \account\group, and connects to the root.  To
                      connect to subdirectories, follow the format
                      \account\group\subdir\subdir... 

password              Sharename password, up to eight characters.

R                     Read permission--lets users read and copy, but not
                      change, files on the shared disc.

W                     Write permission--lets users modify shared disc
                      files.

C                     Create permission--lets users create new files on
                      the shared disc.

For example, let's say you want to share a disc by assigning the
sharename SALES to the shared disc in the ADMIN account, SALES group.
You want it to have RWC capabilities, and a password of SHHH. You would
enter this command:

          SHARE SALES=\ADMIN\SALES SHHH /RWC

To share printers connected to the server: 

SHARE [sharename] {device class } [password]
                  {device number}

sharename        Name that represents the physical path, up to 80
                 alphanumeric characters.

password         Sharename password, if any.

device class     HP 3000 logical device class name--LP, for example.

device number    HP 3000 network device number (LDEV#).

This command can be used only if you have SM or NM capability.

For example, to share a printer by assigning it a sharename of ADMINPTR
that has a device class name of LASERJET, enter the following command:

          SHARE ADMINPTR LASERJET

To remove a share to a disc or device: 

SHARE sharename [password] /D

sharename        Name that represents the pathname to the shared disc or
                 device.

password         Sharename password, if any.

/D               Delete command, which removes the specified share.

For example, to remove the SHARE to the sharename JOAN, enter this
command:

     SHARE JOAN /D

To go to the Share function area:
