Initiates an interactive session. (Native Mode) Syntax | |
HELLO [sessionname,] username [/userpass] .acctname [/acctpass] [,groupname [/grouppass]] [;TERM={ termtype termname }] [;TIME=cpusecs] [;PRI={ BS CS DS ES }] [{ ;INPRI=inputpriority ;HIPRI }] [;INFO=ciinfo] [;PARM=ciparm] Parameters | |
- sessionname
Arbitrary name used in conjunction with 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.
Default is that no session is assigned. - username
User name, established by the account manager, that
allows you to log on to this account. The name must contain from
one to eight alphanumeric characters, beginning with an alphabetic
character. - userpass
User password, optionally assigned by the account
manager. The password must contain from one to eight alphanumeric
characters, beginning with an alphabetic character. The user password
must be preceded by a slash (/). - acctname
Account name as established by the system manager.
The name must contain from one to eight alphanumeric characters,
beginning with an alphabetic character. The acctname
parameter must be preceded by a period (.). - acctpass
Account password, optionally assigned by the system
manager. The password must contain from one to eight alphanumeric
characters, beginning with an alphabetic character. The account
password must be preceded by a slash (/). - groupname
Group name to be used for the local file domain
and the CPU and connect-time charges as established by the account
manager. The name must contain from one to eight alphanumeric characters,
beginning with an alphabetic character. Default is your home group
if you are assigned one by the account manager. (Required if a home
group is not assigned.) - grouppass
Group password optionally assigned by the account
manager. The password must contain from one to eight alphanumeric
characters beginning with an alphabetic character. The grouppass
parameter is not needed to log on to your home group. The group
password must be preceded by a slash (/). - termtype or termname
Determines terminal type characteristics. The termtype
parameter determines the type of terminal used for input. MPE/iX
uses this parameter to determine device-dependent characteristics
such as delay factors for carriage returns. It must be 10 or 18.
The default value for termtype is assigned
by the system supervisor during system configuration. This is a
required parameter to ensure correct listings if your terminal is
not the default termtype. The termname parameter is the name
of the file containing the desired terminal-type characteristics.
The file cannot have a lockword or reside on a user volume. Users of the workstation configurator are allowed to create
terminal-type files. The proper and efficient operation of a specific
device by a user-created terminal type is the responsibility of
the user. The workstation configurator utility allows the user to
specify characteristics of the terminal, including data flow control,
block mode, read trigger, special characteristics, echo, line feed,
parity, and printer control. - cpusecs
Maximum CPU-time that a session can use, entered
in seconds. When the limit is reached, the session is aborted. It
must be a value from 1 to 32767. To specify no limit, enter a question
mark (?), UNLIMITED,
or omit the parameter. Default is no limit. - BS,
CS, DS,
or ES
The execution priority queue that MPE/iX uses for
your session, and also the default priority for all programs executed
within the session. BS is the highest priority, ES is the lowest.
If you specify a priority that exceeds the highest priority permitted
for your account or user name by the system, MPE/iX assigns the
highest priority possible below BS. DS and ES are intended primarily
for batch jobs; their use for sessions is generally discouraged.
For information on the guidelines for these priority queues, refer
to the TUNE command.
Default is CS.
| | | |  | CAUTION: Use care in assigning the BS queue. Processes in
this priority class can lock out other processes. | | | | |
- inputpriority
or HIPRI
Determines the input priority of the job. The inputpriority
option is the relative input priority used in checking against access
restrictions imposed by the jobfence. The inputpriority
option takes effect at logon time and must be from 1 (lowest priority)
to 13 (highest priority). If you supply a value less than or equal
to the current jobfence set by the system operator, the session
is denied access. Default is 8. When logging on, the HIPRI
option is used to either override the system jobfence or to override
the session limit. When using the HIPRI
option to override the jobfence, the system first checks to see
if you have system manager (SM) or system operator (OP) capability.
If you have either of these capabilities, you are logged on and
your INPRI defaults
to the system's jobfence and execution limit. If you do not have
either of these capabilities, the system attempts to log you on
using INPRI=13
and succeeds if the jobfence is 12 or less, and if the session limit
is not exceeded. Only users with SM or OP capability can use the
HIPRI option
to override the session limit to log on. Use of the HIPRI
option without SM or OP capability causes the following warning
to be displayed: MUST HAVE 'SM' OR 'OP' CAP. TO SPECIFY HIPRI, MAXIMUM INPRI OF 13 IS USED (CIWARN 1460) - ciinfo
An INFO
string to be passed to the command interpreter. For the MPE/iX CI,
it is the first command to be executed by the command interpreter.
This parameter replaces the ( ) COMMAND LOGON
command and approximates its function. The ( ) COMMAND LOGON
command caused the session to terminate after executing the specified
command. In contrast, the ciinfo parameter
does not terminate the session unless ciparm
is set to 1, 3, or 5. Running the CI as a child process in this way restricts the
flexibility of ciparm. More flexibility
is available by running the CI as a standalone program. - ciparm
The command interpreter parameter number you wish
to use. The MPE/iX command interpreter accepts the numbers listed
below. If you enter any other value, it is treated as zero (0). - 0, 2, 4
Executes logon UDCs and displays the CI banner and
the welcome message. This is the default. - 1, 3, 5
Same as 0, but the CI terminates after processing
the INFO= string.
If the INFO=
string is not specified, the CI terminates after executing the first
user-supplied command. - -1
Prohibits cataloging of UDCs and suppress the display
of the CI banner and the welcome message. Invoking this level requires
system manager (SM) capability. - -2
Same as -1, but the CI terminates after processing
the info= command. Invoking this level
requires system manager (SM) capability.
The MPE/iX CI distinguishes between ciparms
1, 3, 5 and 0, 2, 4 when it is run from within the CI, that is,
after the session has logged on. If a user without SM capability
uses -1 or -2, the system substitutes a parameter value of 0 and
does NOT display an error message.
Operation Notes | |
The HELLO
command initiates an interactive session and must be entered from
a terminal; no other device can be used for this command. You must
supply both a valid username and acctname
in your logon command or MPE/iX rejects your logon attempt and displays
an error message. If your logon attempt is accepted, MPE/iX displays
specific logon information and prompts you for your next MPE/iX
command. In the following example, a user has logged on under the
username USER
and the acctname TECHPUBS: MPE XL:HELLO USER.TECHPUBS

: |
When you first access an MPE/iX system to log on, the MPE iX:
prompt is displayed. When you log off using the BYE
command, the following message is displayed: CPU=1. CONNECT=1. THU, DEC 8, 1994, 1:50 PM |
The RELEASE: V.UU.FF
number in the logon banner is determined by Hewlett-Packard at operating
system build time and provides an identity for software releases
(also known as the MIT). This number may not be changed. (Prior
to MPE/iX release A.11.70, this was referred to as BASE.) The USER VERSION: V.UU.FF
can be assigned a value during a SYSGEN and allows you to identify
any changes to your total software package such as patch level,
third party software, or other specifics. Any ASCII character can
be used. In prior releases, this number was printed out immediately
after the MPE/iX product number HP31900. The PRODUCT V.UU.FF,
which now immediately follows the product number HP31900, is determined
by Hewlett-Packard when a new version of MPE/iX is compiled. This
V.UU.FF number
cannot be changed and is used when entering a service request (SR)
against the MPE/iX operating system product for that particular
release. If the system operator has set up a welcome message, it is
displayed after the MPE/iX verification of your logon. The session number assigned by MPE/iX uniquely identifies
your session to MPE/iX and to other users. MPE/iX assigns such numbers
to sessions in sequential order as they are logged on. If you are
on a modem and do not log on within the system-configured time,
the line is dropped. You must redial and press Return
again. If you are already logged on and you issue the HELLO
command, you will be logged off your current session and logged
on to a new session. In certain instances, you may be required to furnish information
in addition to the user and account names in your HELLO
command. This information includes: Use | |
This command may be issued from a session. It may not be used
from a job, program, or in BREAK. Pressing Break
does not abort the execution of this command, but may prematurely
terminate the printing of the welcome message or the execution of
any logon UDCs. If you are already in a session, HELLO
terminates that session before beginning a new one. Group Name | |
The group you select at logon for your local file domain is
known as your logon group. If your account manager has associated
a home group with your username, and
if you want this group as a logon group, you need not specify it.
MPE/iX automatically assigns the home group as your logon group
when you log on. But if you want to use some other group as your
logon group, you must specify that group's name in your logon command
in this way: MPE iX:HELLO USER.TECHPUBS,MYGROUP |
If your user name is not related to a home group, you must
enter a group name in your HELLO
command, or your logon attempt is rejected. Once you log on, if the normal (default) file security provisions
of MPE/iX are in force, you have unlimited access to all files in
your logon and home groups. Furthermore, you can read files and
execute programs stored in the PUB
(public) group of your account and the PUB
(public) group of the SYS
(system) account. You cannot, however, access any other files in
any way. Further information about files and file security can be
found in the Accessing Files Programmer's Guide (32650-60010). Passwords | |
To enhance the security of an account, and to prevent unauthorized
accumulation of charges against the account, the system manager
may assign a password. Similarly, an account manager may associate
passwords with the user names and groups belonging to his account.
If you are using an account, user name, or group (other than your
home group) that has a password, you must furnish that password
when you log on. Include the password after the name of the protected
entity, separated from that name by a slash mark (/).
(In MPE/iX, the slash denotes security.) For instance, if the group XGROUP
requires a password, and if you use this group as your logon group,
you could enter the password in this fashion: MPE iX:HELLO USER.TECHPUBS,XGROUP/XPASS |
Note that when you specify your home group as your logon group,
you need not enter a password, even if that group has such a password. Sometimes, when logging on to the system, it is more convenient
to have MPE/iX prompt you for any required passwords. You do this
by omitting the passwords from the logon command. When you log on,
the command is printed in the normal way; MPE/iX prompts you for
the password, then turns echo off so that the password is not printed.
If you enter the password incorrectly, the prompt reappears and
you have two more chances to enter the password correctly. After
the third incorrect entry, the message INCORRECT PASSWORD (CIERR 1441)
is displayed. You must then press Return
to receive a new prompt and then enter the HELLO
command to start a new logon process. Echo is turned on after all
passwords are read. Terminal Types | |
MPE/iX must be able to determine certain characteristics about
your terminal, such as input and output speed, in order to conduct
a session. If you log on using a different type of terminal than
the type the system manager has configured, you must specify your
terminal type when you log on. Refer to appendix C, "Terminal and
Printer Types." MPE iX:HELLO USER.TECHPUBS;TERM=10 |
Example | |
When you initially log on to access MPE/iX, the system prompt
appears as: When you subsequently log on to another account or group,
the system prompt by default is a colon (unless you have altered
it with the SETVAR HPPROMPT
command) and appears as: To start a session named ALPHA,
with the user USER,
the account TECHPUBS,
the group XGROUP,
and the group password XPASS,
enter: MPE iX:HELLO ALPHA,USER.TECHPUBS,XGROUP/XPASS
