SET USER Command
INITIAL-DIRECTORY [dir-path]
specifies the initial working directory within the OSS file system for the user. 
dir-path is a case-sensitive text string of up to 256 characters. It must be a 
syntactically valid OSS pathname. If you specify the INITIAL-DIRECTORY 
attribute, it must be the last attribute in the command string.
If you omit dir-path, no pathname is used.
INITIAL-PROGRAM [prog-path]
specifies the initial program pathname within the OSS environment for the 
user. prog-path is a case-sensitive text string of up to 256 characters. It must 
be a syntactically valid OSS pathname. If you specify the INITIAL-PROGRAM 
attribute, it must be the last attribute in the command string. This feature is not 
currently implemented on NonStop systems. It is reserved for future use.
If you omit prog-path, no pathname is used.
INITIAL-PROGTYPE [prog-type]
specifies the initial program type within the OSS environment for the user. 
prog-type 
is one of these:
PROGRAM
SERVICE
WINDOW
If you omit prog-type, PROGRAM is used.
This feature is not currently implemented on NonStop systems. It is reserved 
for future use.
CI-PROG [prog-filename]
specifies the command interpreter to be started after this user is authenticated 
at a Safeguard terminal. prog-filename is the name of the command 
interpreter’s object file. It must be a local file name.
If you omit prog-filename, the other user attributes associated with CI-
PROG in this record are not meaningful. 
If you omit CI-PROG prog-filename in the user authentication record, the 
Safeguard software starts the PROG (with associated parameters) in the 
definition record for the terminal at which the user logs on. If you do not specify 
PROG in the terminal definition record, the Safeguard software starts the CI-
PROG (with associated parameters) specified in the Safeguard configuration 
record.
