Command List I
Commands ABORT to BYE
CAUTION User processes executing in the AS or BS subqueues can deadlock the system.
If you assign these subqueues to nonpriority processes, other critical system
processes may be prevented from executing. Exercise extreme caution when
choosing subqueues.
localattribute Local attribute of the account, as defined at the installation site. This is
a double-word bit map, of arbitrary meaning, that might be used to further
classify accounts. While it is not involved in standard MPE/iX security
provisions, it is available to processes through the WHO intrinsic.
Programmers may use
localattribute in their own programs to provide
security. Default is double word 0 (null).
volume- setname The MPE/iX volume set in which the account is to be altered. This
volume set must be already defined and recognized by the system. When
ONVS=
volumesetname is specified, the volume set directory is assumed.
When ONVS= is specified without
volumesetname , the system directory is
assumed.
MPE/iX volume set names consist of from 1 to 32 characters, beginning
with an alphabetic character. The remaining characters may be
alphabetic, numeric, the underscore, or periods.
This parameter only works with the FILES parameter (all other
parameters are ignored).
REQ USERPASS=REQ specifies that all users in the account must have a
non-blank password. It is available only if the HP Security Monitor has
been installed.
OPT USERPASS=OPT specifies that users in this account may or may not have
passwords. If you do not use the USERPASS parameter, the old value
remains. It is available only if the HP Security Monitor has been installed.
Operation Notes
The system manager uses the ALTACCT command to change the attributes of an existing
account. You may enter multiple keywords on a single command line as shown in
"Examples." When you change one capability in a
capabilitylist that contains several
nondefault values, you must specify the entire new
%capabilitylist . When you omit an
entire keyword parameter group from the ALTACCT command, that parameter remains
unchanged for the account. When you include a keyword, but omit the corresponding
parameter (for example, PASS=
Return), the default value is assigned. Table 2-2 lists the
default values for the ALTACCT command.
Table 3-1. on page 46 shows the defalut parameters for the ALTACCT Command.
