REMOTE HELLO Command

assumed. The default environment for a REMOTE

command is the one most recently referenced in a

DSLINE or REMOTE command.

nodename When you are using NS names, the nodename is the

name assigned to the remote node when it is conﬁgured

into the NS 3000/iX network. This name may optionally

be qualiﬁed in the format node[.domain[.organization]].

The default domain and organization are those of the local

node. Each portion of this string may have a maximum

of 16 alphanumeric characters (including underscores

and hyphens), of which the ﬁrst must be alphabetic.

When you are using ARPA domain names, the

nodename has the syntax label[.label[...]. The

labels must follow the syntax for ARPANET host

names. Refer to ARPA Domain Name Syntax in

Chapter 1, “Introduction to NS 3000/iX,” for more

details.

An environment ID may be equated with this node

name, or the node name (if used alone) may become its

own environment ID. In either case, the environment

ID then represents a speciﬁc remote session on this

node. Default: the environment speciﬁed by the last

DSLINE or REMOTE command.

envnum The number of the environment assigned when the

environment was deﬁned. This is the environment

number listed in the message that appears after a

DSLINE command. Note that when envnum is speciﬁed

immediately after REMOTE, envnum is speciﬁed without

the #L preﬁx.

logon A valid logon sequence for the remote node, in the form

HELLO user.account[,group]. For information on

additional MPE logon parameters and options, please

see the MPE/iX Commands Reference Manual.

DSLINE= Deﬁnes an environment if one is not speciﬁed

immediately after REMOTE. The parameters are used in

the same way as they are after REMOTE (or as they are

used in a DSLINE command).

Description

The REMOTE HELLO command creates a session on a remote node. If the

remote environment (session) has already been deﬁned in a previous

DSLINE (or REMOTE) command, the environment ID or number may be

used by itself to designate the environment. Otherwise, an environment

ID may be equated to an actual node name or the node name may be

used by itself as its own environment ID. The environment information
