dkhosts
c alternate command to execute locally
s service name
v existence of environment variables (y or n)
p protocol string
o old protocol (y or n)
An example use of the miscellany field is to force the dk command to use
dkcu for remote logins to a particular host. This would be necessary if the
destination host does not have a remote execution driver and, therefore, does
not support the remote login protocol. In this case, the miscellany field for
the desired host is parsed, and the retrieved information is used to complete
the call.
lc=dkcu:-f,lp=t
An example of an entry in the dkhosts file is given below:
fish dlx nj/shore/fish lc=dkcu:-f,lp=t
This entry is for host, fish, which can handle calls defined as follows:
Briefly stated, for a 1 service class entry for fish, the dkcu command (c,
alternate command to execute locally) should be executed with an argument
of -f and uses t (p, protocol string) protocol.
Another example entry in the dkhosts is:
hpams5x flx nj/shore/hpams5x -
This entry is for host, hpams5x, which can handle calls defined as follows:
A call being made to hpams5x with any one of the service class values in
the table above will use the dialstring shown. hpams5x is on data switch
node shore, and the local data switch node is in nj. The miscellany field
entry is a “-” which indicates that there is no special processing that must be
done to put this call through the CommKit Host Interface.
