Profile login script
A type of login script that sets environments for a group of users. Use profile
login scripts if there are groups of users with identical login script needs.
Profile login scripts are optional; if used, they execute after the container
login script and before the user login script.
See also “Login scripts.”
Profile object
A leaf object that represents a login script used by a group of users who need
to share common login script commands.
The group of users may not necessarily be located under the same container
in the Directory tree, or they may be a subset of users in the same container.
You can grant trustee assignments to a profile object See “Managing Profile
Objects” in Supervising the Network.
See also “Object.”
Prompt
A character or message that appears on the display screen and requires a
response (such as a command or a utility name) from the user.
Standard types of prompts include
• The DOS prompt, which, by default, displays the current drive letter followed by
a > symbol: F>
• The UNIX prompt, which displays a # for root users and a # for other users.
The client DOS prompt is a DOS environment setting. You can change the
DOS prompt using the SET PROMPT command in a batch file (such as
AUTOEXEC.BAT), in the login script, or at the command line.
