AUTHORIZE
messages, operations such as starting and stopping processes, creating and
purging files, opening and closing files, and so on.
AUTHORIZE
By default, the user that starts the AutoSYNC monitor process authorizes all sync
users to perform scheduled synchronizations. Thus, in a multiuser environment, the
monitor process must be started by the super user or the group manager (n, 255) of all
sync users.
An alternative is to have the super user or the group manager issue the AUTHORIZE
command to configure the AutoSYNC, which allows any user to start the AutoSYNC
monitor process.
AUTHORIZE can also designate the AutoSYNC administrator user ID, who can
manage sync users without the need to have access to sensitive data controlled by the
sync users.
ADMINistrator user-id
the user who is the AutoSYNC administrator. The administrator is the user who
configures syncusers and controls who is authorized to schedule automatic file-set
synchronization.
If this option is omitted, the AutoSYNC administrator is the current user ID.
The AUTHORIZE command sets the ownership and the PROGID attribute of the
ASYSYNCP program. When a scheduled synchronization is performed, the
ASYSYNCP process changes its access ID to the user ID who configured the
synchronization. This operation succeeds only if the authorizer is (1) the Super ID, (2)
the user’s group manager, or (3) the user itself; otherwise the synchronization is
aborted.
The ownership of the SYNCUSER table is set to the authorizer or, if specified, to the
administrator. This command also sets the write and purge security of the SYNCUSER
table to the owner (“xOxO”). Adding and deleting AutoSYNC users is thereby restricted
to the AutoSYNC administrator.
CALC
A 4-function calculator to perform addition, subtraction, multiplication, division.
Parentheses are supported; multiplication and division have precedence over addition
and subtraction. CALC numeric operands are assumed to be decimal unless preceded
by %, %h, or %b. An expression comprised of simple integers is performed using
