Profile login script

If you have groups of users with identical login script needs, you can create a Profile object, then create a login script for it. Then you can assign each user to be a member of that Profile object.

The following list shows an example of a profile login script you might create for users in the Profile object ACCOUNTING. This profile login script would execute after the container login script had executed.

• MAP DISPLAY OFF

  Prevents MAP commands from displaying on the screen as they are assigned.

• MAP ERRORS OFF

  Prevents mapping errors from displaying on the screen.

• MAP INS S16:=VOL1:APPL\DB

  Maps the first available search drive (after those assigned in the container login script) to the directory that contains the database program.

• MAP 5:=VOL1:ACCOUNTS\NEW

  Maps the fifth network drive (after those assigned in the container login script) to the NEW subdirectory.

• MAP 6:=VOL1:ACCOUNTS\RECORDS

  Maps the sixth network drive (after those assigned in the container login script) to the RECORDS subdirectory.

• #WSUPDATE S1:IPXODI.COM /LOCAL

  Executes WSUPDATE which updates the IPXODI.COM file on the user's workstation with a new version of the file located in the first search drive.

• MAP DISPLAY ON

  Allows MAP commands to display.

• MAP

  Displays a list of all drive mappings.

• WRITE

  Displays a blank line between the list of mappings and following lines.

• IF DAY_OF_WEEK="FRIDAY" THEN
  WRITE "Weekly progress report is due today"
  FIRE 2
  END

  Causes the phaser sound occurs twice on Friday's to alert the user while the message Weekly progress report is due today displays on the screen.

• PCCOMPATIBLE
  EXIT "NMENU WORK"

  Stops the profile login script and sends the user into a menu program called WORK.EXIT also prevents any user login scripts from executing.

  If you want a user login script to execute after the profile login script, put these lines at the end of the user login script instead.

  (DOS workstations with the machine name IBM_PC do not need the PCCOMPATIBLE line.)

  The EXIT command does not work on OS/2 workstations.
