#GETCONFIGURATION Built-In Function

Use #GETCONFIGURATION to obtain the settings of special TACL flags that can

change the behavior of TACL in certain situations.

option

can be any of these:

AUTOLOGOFFDELAY

if greater than zero, specifies the maximum number of minutes that TACL is to

wait at a prompt. If that time is exceeded, TACL automatically logs off, releases

the default segment, and (if LOGOFFSCREENCLEAR so specifies) clears the

terminal screen. This option is initially set to -1 (disabled).

The TACL process issues a modem disconnect at autologoff.

BLINDLOGON

if not zero, specifies that the LOGON command, whether in the logged-off state

or the logged-on state, prohibits the use of the comma, requiring the password

to be entered at its own prompt while echoing is disabled. The setting does not

change the behavior of #CHANGEUSER. This option is initially set to 0.

CMONREQUIRED

if not zero, specifies that all operations requiring approval by $CMON are

denied if $CMON is not available or is running too slowly. Approval of $CMON

is not required if the TACL is already logged on as the super ID. This option is

initially set to 0.

CMONTIMEOUT

specifies the number of seconds that TACL is to wait for any $CMON

operation. This option is initially set to 30.

Note. These flags can be changed only by users who are authorized to alter the Command

Interpreter Monitor (CMON). For additional information, see Command Interpreter Monitor

Interface (CMON) on page 6-9.

Caution. If you are authorized to change CMONREQUIRED and intend to set it to a

nonzero value, you must keep an unmodified copy of TACL for system operation use;

otherwise, you cannot log on if $CMON is not running or is running too slowly. If the

modified TACL is in $SYSTEM.SYSnn, you cannot even start the system.
