Adding a Terminal Definition
change the configuration record, the command interpreter defined in that record is
$SYSTEM.SYSTEM.TACL.
The Safeguard software can honor the command interpreter specification only at a
terminal that it controls. If the Safeguard software does not control the logon dialog at a
terminal, all command interpreter specifications are ignored at that terminal.
Adding a Terminal Definition
Before you add a terminal definition to the Safeguard database, be sure to stop any
process running at that terminal. If you do not stop the other process, the Safeguard
software competes with it for control of the terminal.
In the most basic form, you can use the ADD TERMINAL command without any
additional parameters to add a terminal definition. Simply specify the name of the
terminal to be added. As is true when you add most other object names, you cannot
use wild-card characters when you specify a terminal name in an ADD command.
This command adds a terminal definition for the terminal $TFOX.#T014:
=ADD TERMINAL $tfox.#t014
This form of the command uses default values for the command interpreter to be
started at the terminal after a user is authenticated.
To thaw terminal $TFOX.#T014, issue this command:
=THAW TERMINAL $tfox.#t014
To verify the results of the commands, use this INFO TERMINAL command:
=INFO TERMINAL $tfox.#t014
The display shows:
The display shows that the terminal is thawed and no command interpreter has been
defined for the terminal.
You can specify a particular command interpreter to be started automatically after user
authentication. To do so, you must specify the name of the object file of the command
interpreter to be invoked. You can also specify several optional parameters, such as
Note. When you add a terminal definition record to the Safeguard database, that terminal
becomes frozen. You must use the THAW TERMINAL command to enable the terminal.
