To make personalized customizations, copy the file
/usr/share/lib/kermit/ckermod.ini
file to your home directory, make any desired changes, and rename it to .mykermrc.
You may also create a personalized dialing directory like the sample one in
/usr/share/lib/kermit/ckermit.kdd
. Your personalized dialing directory should be stored in
your home directory as
.kdd and your personal network directory as .knd. See Chapters 5 and 6 of
Using C-Kermit for details.
And you may also create a personalized services directory like the sample one in
/usr/share/lib/kermit/ckermit.ksd
. Your personalized services directory should be stored in
your home directory as
.ksd. See Chapter 7 of Using C-Kermit for instructions.
The demonstration files illustrate C-Kermit’s script programming constructs; they are discussed in chapters
17-19 of the book. You can run them by typing the appropriate TAKE command at the C-Kermit> prompt,
for example: take /usr/share/lib/kermit/ckedemo.ini
.

addition, the program itself returns an exit status code of 0 upon successful operation or nonzero if any of
