If SALES PV had no container login script defined, no container login script
would execute for ESAYERS and SWILLIAMS, even though a container
login script exists at a higher level.
Since SWILLIAMS has no user login script defined, the default login script
executes after the container login script.
Since MRICHARD belongs to the profile CLERKS, the CLERKS’ profile
login script executes before MRICHARD’s user login script. Users can
belong to only one Profile, so only one profile login script can execute for
any user.
Creating, modifying, and copying login scripts
You can use either the NETADMIN utility or the NetWare Administrator
utility to create or modify login scripts.
The main difference in creating container, profile, and user login scripts is
the object you select to contain the scripts.
• Container login scripts are assigned to container objects (Organization or
Organizational Unit objects).
• Profile login scripts are assigned to Profile objects. For a User object to use a
profile login script, you must select that User object and assign it to the profile.
• User login scripts are assigned to User objects.
All three scripts use the same conventions, commands, and variables.
Login script commands
Some of the commands you can use in login scripts are listed in the
following table. (For a list of all login script commands, and a complete
description of each, see “Login Script Commands and Variables” in
Supervising the Network.)
