Customizing the User Environment
Login Script Commands and Variables
If you do not specify a path, LOGIN swaps either into higher memory (if
available) or to the current drive. If LOGIN tries to swap to the current drive
and you don’t have rights to the current drive, LOGIN prompts you for a
path to use. If you specify a valid path, LOGIN always swaps to the
specified path.
Then, if the workstation does not have enough memory to handle both
LOGIN and the # command, the # command fails but the rest of the login
script executes as usual.
Additional Information
TEMP SET
Use TEMP SET to change the environment for the login script, but not for
the workstation after the login script has finished executing.
See “SET” in this chapter.
WRITE
Use WRITE to display messages on the workstation screen when a user logs
in.
Command Format
WRITE “[text][%identifier]” [;][identifier]
Replace text with the words you want to display on the screen.
Replace identifier with a variable you want to display, such as a user’s login
name. (See “Using Identifier Variables” in this chapter for a complete list of
variables.)
