ALTER TERMINAL Command
ALTER TERMINAL Command
The ALTER TERMINAL command changes one or more terminal attribute values in a
terminal definition record. You can specify only one terminal name in an ALTER
TERMINAL command, but that name can contain wild-card characters.
If you have defined a SECURITY-ADMINISTRATOR security group, only members of
that group can use the ALTER terminal command.
TERMINAL
specifies TERMINAL as the object type of the ALTER command. Omit this option if
TERMINAL is the assumed object type. (For more information on assumed object
types, see the ASSUME Command on page 4-3.)
terminal-spec
specifies the terminal or terminals whose definition is to be changed. terminal-
spec has the following form:
[\system-name.]$device[.#subdevice]
LIKE terminal-name
changes the terminal attributes for this terminal to match the existing specifications
for terminal-name.
LIKE sets the values for only the following terminal attributes:
PROG prog-filename
LIB lib-filename
CPU cpu-number
SWAP $vol[.subvol.filename]
PRI priority
PARAM-TEXT startup-param-text
term-attribute
changes the value of a terminal attribute. term-attribute can be any of:
PROG [prog-filename]
LIB [lib-filename]
CPU [cpu-number | ANY]
PNAME [process-name]
SWAP [$vol[.subvol.filename]]
PRI [priority]
PARAM-TEXT [startup-param-text]
ALTER TERMINAL terminal-spec [ , ]
