ADD ALIAS Command
INITIAL-PROGRAM [prog-path]
INITIAL-PROGTYPE [prog-type]
CI-PROG [prog-filename]
CI-LIB [lib-filename]
CI-CPU [cpu-number | ANY]
CI-NAME [process-name]
CI-SWAP [$vol.[subvol.filename]]
CI-PRI [priority]
CI-PARAM-TEXT [startup-param-text]
Multiple remote-password entries are not allowed on the same line.
Because the CI-PARAM-TEXT, INITIAL-DIRECTORY, and INITIAL-PROGRAM
attributes are text strings, each of them must be the last attribute specified in the
command string. Therefore only one of these attributes can be specified in a single
command.
For a complete description of each user-attribute, see the ALTER ALIAS
Command on page 6-9 and the SET ALIAS Command on page 6-37.
Considerations
•
The primary group for a new alias is set to the administrative group of the
underlying user ID associated with the alias.
When you add an alias, the administrative group for the underlying user ID
becomes the primary group for that alias. To change the primary group, use the
ALTER ALIAS command to alter the PRIMARY-GROUP attribute.
•
PASSWORD-EXPIRES takes precedence over PASSWORD-MUST-CHANGE.
If the PASSWORD-EXPIRES and PASSWORD-MUST-CHANGE attributes are set
in the same ADD command, the setting of the PASSWORD-EXPIRES attribute
takes precedence over the PASSWORD-EXPIRES date calculated as a result of
setting the PASSWORD-MUST-CHANGE attribute.
Examples
1. The group manager for a marketing group (group name PRS) uses this command
to add the alias Admin_Darlene for the user PRS.DARLENE:
=ADD ALIAS Admin_Darlene, prs.darlene , PASSWORD BlueGill
This command allows PRS.DARLENE to log on using the alias Admin_Darlene.
When she logs on as Admin_Darlene, her password is BlueGill. The other user
attributes for PRS.DARLENE have their default values.
2. The PRS group manager next adds aliases for two more group members.
First, the group manager uses the SET command to create a pattern of attribute
values—a useful procedure for adding a number of aliases that share attributes:
=ASSUME ALIAS
=SET USER-EXPIRES jun 28 2005 , &
