WELCOME
Defines the welcome message.
Syntax
WELCOME [welcfile]
Parameters
welcfile An ASCII file containing the welcome message.
Operation Notes
The operator uses the WELCOME command to compose the message that is
transmitted to users when they initiate jobs and sessions. The message
is retained when you issue a START RECOVERY, START NORECOVERY, or
UPDATE/UPDATE NOCONFIG restart option.
To define the welcome message, enter WELCOME and press Return. When the
# prompt is displayed, begin entering the text of the message. The
length of any line cannot exceed 72 characters and the total number of
lines may not exceed 26. To terminate the message and complete the
command, enter Return at the # prompt.
To define the welcome message from an editor file, specify the welcfile
parameter. Subsequent changes to the editor file do not affect the
welcome message until another WELCOME command is issued with the file
name specified.
If no parameter is specified, you are prompted to enter the new message
interactively.
To delete the old welcome message, issue the WELCOME command and press
Return at the # prompt.
Use
This command may be issued from a session, job, program, or in BREAK.
Pressing Break has no effect on this command. It may be issued only from
the console unless distributed to users with the ALLOW command.
Example
To create a multiline welcome message, enter:
WELCOME
#WELCOME TO THE HP3000 COMPUTER SYSTEM.
#FILES WILL BE STORED EACH DAY BETWEEN 6AM AND 7AM.
#Return
