HELLO
The HELLO command initiates an interactive session.
Syntax
HELLO [sessionname,]username[/userpass].acctname
[/acctpass][,groupname[/grouppass]][;INPRI=inputpriority]
[;HIPRI ]
Parameters
sessionname Specifies an arbitrary name used in conjunction
with the username and acctname parameters to form a
fully qualified session identity. The name must
contain from one to eight alphanumeric characters,
beginning with an alphabetic character. The
default is no assigned session.
username Specifies a user name that your system manager
assigns, enabling you to log on to this account.
The name must contain from one to eight
alphanumeric characters, beginning with an
alphabetic character.
userpass Specifies a user password that your system manager
optionally assigns. The password must contain from
one to eight alphanumeric characters, beginning
with an alphabetic character. A slash (/) must
precede the user password.
acctname Specifies the account name that your system manager
assigns. The name must contain from one to eight
alphanumeric characters, beginning with an
alphabetic character. A period (.) must precede
the account name.
acctpass Specifies the account password that your system
manager assigns. The password must contain from
one to eight alphanumeric characters, beginning
with an alphabetic character. A slash (/) must
precede the account password.
groupname Specifies the group name that your system manager
assigns to be used for the local file domain and
the CPU-time and connect-time charges. The name
must contain from one to eight alphanumeric
characters, beginning with an alphabetic character.
The default is your home group if your system
manager does not assign you a group name. This
parameter is required if a home group is not
assigned.
grouppass Specifies the group password that your system
manager assigns, but is not required to log on to
your home group. The password must contain from
one to eight alphanumeric characters, beginning
with an alphabetic character. A slash (/) must
precede the group password.
INPRI The value inputpriority determines the relative
input priority of the session used in checking
against access restrictions imposed by the
jobfence. The value of this parameter becomes
effective at the time of logon.
The value of inputpriority can range from 1 (lowest
priority) to 13 (highest priority). The default is
8. If you supply a value less than or equal to the
current jobfence, access is denied to the session.
HIPRI Enables you to either override the system jobfence
or to override the session limit to log on. If you
specify this parameter to override the jobfence,
the system first determines whether or not you have
system manager (SM) or system operator (OP)
capability. If you have either of these
capabilities, you are logged on and your input
priority defaults to the system's jobfence and
execution limit.
If you do not have either capability and you
specify this parameter, the following message
appears:
MUST HAVE 'SM' OR 'OP' CAP. TO SPECIFY HIPRI,
MAXIMUM INPRI OF 13 IS USED (CIWARN 1460)
Operation Notes
* Usage
You must enter this command from a terminal; you cannot use any
other device to enter this command. You cannot enter this command
from a job, a program, or in break mode. Pressing Break does not
abort the execution of this command, but may prematurely terminate
the printing of the welcome message.
You must supply both a valid username and acctname in your logon
command, or the system rejects your logon attempt and displays an
error message. If your logon attempt is accepted, the system
displays specific logon information and prompts you for your next
operating system command. If your system administrator has set up
a welcome message, it appears after the system verification of
your logon.
If you connect through a modem and do not log on within the
allowable system-configured time, the line drops. You must redial
and press Return again.
If you are already logged on and you enter the HELLO command, you
are logged off your current session and logged on to a new
session.
In addition to the user and account names, you may be required to
provide a group name and one or more passwords.
* Providing a group name
The group you select at logon for your local file domain is known
as your logon group. If your system administrator has associated
a home group with your username, and if you want to use this group
as your logon group, you need not specify it. The system
automatically assigns the home group as your logon group when you
log on; however, if you want to use another group as your logon
group, you must specify the name of that group in your logon
string as shown in the following example:
MPE XL:HELLO USER.TECH,MYGROUP
If your user name is not related to a home group, you must enter a
group name in the HELLO command string, or your logon attempt
fails.
* Entering passwords
Your system administrator can assign you user and group passwords
to enhance the security of your account and to prevent
unauthorized accumulation of charges against your account. When
you specify your home group as your logon group, you need not
enter a password, even if your home group has a password; however,
If you want to access any other account, user name, or group that
has a password, you must supply the password when you log on.
You can supply the password after the name of the protected
entity, preceded by a forward slash (/). For instance, if a group
named XGROUP requires the password XPASS, and if you want to
access this group as your logon group, you could enter the
password as shown:
MPE XL:HELLO USER.TECH,XGROUP/XPASS
For security purposes, the system also provides another method of
entering passwords so that they do not appear to others in your
work area. To use this method, just enter the command string
without the required password(s); the system will prompt you for
the password(s). The system turns off character echo so that what
you type does not appear on the screen. If you enter the
incorrect password, the prompt reappears and you have two more
opportunities to enter the correct password. After the third
incorrect entry, the message INCORRECT PASSWORD appears. You must
then press Return to receive a new prompt, and then you must enter
the HELLO command again to start a new logon process.
* Access permissions and restrictions
After logging on, if the normal (default) file security provisions
of the system are operative, you can access all files in your
logon and home groups. You can also read files and execute
programs stored in the PUB (public) group of your account and the
PUB (public) group of the SYS (system) account; however, you
cannot access any other files.
Example
To start a session with the following names assigned to the associated
parameters:
* ALPHA for the session name
* USER for the user name
* TECH for the account name
* XGROUP for the group name
* XPASS for the group password
Enter the following command string at the MPE/iX operating system prompt:
MPE XL:HELLO ALPHA,USER.TECH,XGROUP/XPASS
The system responds by displaying the following logon message:
