Understanding Your System Concept Guide for the HP 3000 Series 9X7LX

Can I...? 

You probably can!

Programs 

Even with the minimum set of capabilities, you will be able to run any
program that is not protected in some way.  Any program found in PUB.SYS
(the PUB group of the SYS account) is available for your use, as well as
any other files that reside there.

Unless they are protected in some way, you will be able to run any
program in the shared group of your logon account (it might be the PUB
group).  The programs that are in your home group are available to you,
too.

Protection might consist of putting a program into a group or an account
to which you are unable to log on (because you do not know the correct
passwords).  It might consist of attaching PH or PM capability to the
program.

You will have access to most of the built-in MPE/iX commands.  In
addition, you have at your disposal command files and jobs.  Each of
these facilities serves a purpose, and at one time or another, each will
prove valuable.  Each is discussed in Chapter 8 .

This guide does not attempt to instruct you in the use of any of these
facilities, but, rather, defines and explains them as tools that you may
use.  For details on how to use these facilities, turn to Using Your 
System.

Commands 

With the exception of those commands reserved for the console, you will
be able to use almost all of the commands built into MPE/iX. There are
commands, however, that are reserved for those users who have special
capabilities.  The NEWGROUP command, which creates new groups within an
account, is available only to an account manager (AM capability).

In addition, some commands will perform at full power only for users who
have special capabilities.  LISTACCT shows the names of all of the
accounts on the system.  You can use this command to see the names of all
of the accounts that exist.  LISTACCT acctname;PASS shows the name of an
account and its password.  This use of the LISTACCT command works only
for the system operator (OP) or the system manager (SM).
