Removes an account and its groups and users from the system
directory or from the specified volume set's directory. Syntax | |
PURGEACCT acctname [;ONVS=volumesetname] Parameters | |
- acctname
Name of the account to be deleted. This name must
contain from one to eight alphanumeric characters, beginning with
an alphabetic character. - volume- setname
The volume set from which the account is to be purged.
Volume set names consist of from 1 to 32 characters, beginning with
an alphabetic character. The remaining characters may be alphabetic,
numeric, the underscore, and periods. If you specify a volumesetname,
you must specify the full name of the volume set The volumesetname specified refers
to a previously defined volume set. When a volumesetname
is specified, the volume set must be mounted, or the PURGEACCT
command fails. When ONVS=volumesetname
is specified, the account is removed from the volume set directory.
When ONVS= is
specified without volumesetname, the
account is removed from the system directory. Refer to the VSxxxxxx
commands in this chapter.
Operation Notes | |
The system manager uses the PURGEACCT
command to eliminate an entire account from the system. When PURGEACCT
is executed during a session, MPE/iX displays a verification request
to ensure that the wrong account is not deleted accidentally. Respond
YES or NO
to the message: ACCT acctname TO BE PURGED? |
No verification message is printed when the PURGEACCT
is entered in a job. The PURGEACCT
command removes every user not currently logged on and every group/file
not in use. The order in which entries are purged is users first,
then volume set definitions, files, groups, and finally the account.
If the command is executed while the account is in use, the account
remains on the system and active users, groups, and files are not
purged from the account. To completely purge an account, you must
execute PURGEACCT
when the account is inactive. | | | |  | CAUTION: Do not attempt to purge the SYS
account. The SYS
account cannot be completely purged, but you can destroy critical
files by attempting to do so. If you execute PURGEACCT SYS,
all groups except PUB
are purged; all users except the system manager are purged; and
all inactive files and system files in the PUB
group are purged. | | | | |
| | | |  | NOTE: If you specify volume-related commands or parameters
for a volume set that is not currently mounted, or for an account
that does not exist, MPE/iX returns an error message. | | | | |
Use | |
This command may be issued from a session, job, program, or
in BREAK. Pressing Break has
no effect on this command. System manager (SM) capability is required
to execute this command. Examples | |
To remove an account named ACCT1,
enter: PURGEACCT ACCT1
ACCT ACCT1 TO BE PURGED? YES
: |
To purge the account FARFLE
from the volume set TIME_LORD,
you need to issue two commands: PURGEACCT FARFLE
ACCT FARFLE TO BE PURGED? YES

PURGEACCT FARFLE;ONVS=TIME_LORD
ACCT FARFLE TO BE PURGED? YES
: |
The first command informs the system volume set of the purge;
