   Initiates an interactive terminal session.

   Format

     <Ctrl/C>

     <Ctrl/Y>

     <Return>
 

2  Qualifiers
 

/CLI

      /CLI=command-language-interpreter

   Specifies the name of an alternate command language interpreter
   (CLI) to override the default CLI listed in the UAF. The CLI
   you specify must be located in SYS$SYSTEM and have the file type
   .EXE.

   If you do not specify a command interpreter by using the /CLI
   qualifier and you do not have a default CLI listed in the UAF,
   the system supplies the qualifier /CLI=DCL by default.
 

/COMMAND

      /COMMAND[=filespec] (default)
      /NOCOMMAND

   Controls whether to execute your default login command procedure
   when you log in. Use the /COMMAND qualifier to specify the
   name of an alternate login command procedure. If you specify a
   file name without a file type, the default file type .COM is
   used. If you specify the /COMMAND qualifier and omit the file
   specification, your default login command procedure is executed.

   Use the /NOCOMMAND qualifier if you do not want your default
   login command procedure to be executed.
 

/DISK

      /DISK=device-name[:]

   Specifies the name of a disk device to be associated with
   the logical device SYS$DISK for the terminal session. This
   specification overrides the default SYS$DISK device established
   in the UAF.
 

/NEW_PASSWORD

   Requires that you change the account password before logging
   in (as if the password had expired). Use this qualifier as a
   shortcut if you had intended to change your password after login,
   or if you suspect that your password has been detected.
 

/TABLES

      /TABLES=(command-table[,...])
      /TABLES=DCLTABLES (default)

   Specifies the name of an alternate CLI table to override the
   default listed in the UAF. This table name is considered a file
   specification. The default device and directory is SYS$SHARE and
   the default file type is EXE.

   If a logical name is used, the table name specification must be
   defined in the system logical name table.

   If the /CLI qualifier is set to DCL or MCR, the /TABLES qualifier
   defaults to the correct value. If the /TABLES qualifier is
   specified without the /CLI qualifier, the CLI specified in the
   user's UAF will be used.
 

2  Examples

   1. <Ctrl/Y>
     Username:  SMITHSON
     Password:  <PASSWORD>

     In this example, pressing Ctrl/Y allows you to access the
     operating system, which immediately prompts for a user name.
     After validating the user name, the system prompts for the
     password but does not echo it.

   2. <Return>
     Username:  HIGGINS/DISK=USER$
     Password: <PASSWORD>
     Welcome to OpenVMS Alpha (TM) Operating System, Version 6.2 on node LSR
         Last interactive login on Tuesday, 18-DEC-1995 08:41
         Last non-interactive login on Monday, 19-DEC-1995 15:43

     In this Alpha example, the /DISK qualifier requests that
     the default disk for the terminal session be USER$. The SHOW
     DEFAULT command shows that USER$ is the default disk.

   3. <Return>
     Username:  HIGGINS/DISK=USER$
     Password: <PASSWORD>
            Welcome to OpenVMS VAX Version 6.2 on node JUPITER
            Last interactive login on Tuesday, 15-DEC-1995 09:16:47.08
            Last non-interactive login on Monday, 14-DEC-1995 17:32:34.27
     $ SHOW DEFAULT
       USER$:[HIGGINS]

     In this VAX example, the /DISK qualifier requests that the
     default disk for the terminal session be USER$. The SHOW
     DEFAULT command shows that USER$ is the default disk.

   4. <Ctrl/C>
     Username: LIZA/CLI=MCR/COMMAND=ALTLOGIN.COM
     Password: <PASSWORD>
            Welcome to OpenVMS VAX Version 6.2 on node JUPITER
            Last interactive login on Tuesday, 15-DEC-1995 09:16:47.08
            Last non-interactive login on Monday, 14-DEC-1995 17:32:34.27
     >

     In this example, the /CLI qualifier requests the alternate MCR
     command interpreter. The /COMMAND qualifier indicates that the
     login command file ALTLOGIN.COM is to be executed instead of
     the default login command file.

     The right angle-bracket prompt (>)  indicates that MCR is
     active and expects an MCR command.

   5. <Return>
     Username: XENAKIS
     Password: <PASSWORD>
     Password: <PASSWORD>
            Welcome to OpenVMS VAX Version 6.2 on node JUPITER
            Last interactive login on Tuesday, 15-DEC-1995 09:16:47.08
            Last non-interactive login on Monday, 14-DEC-1995 17:32:34.27
     $

     In this example, the second password prompt indicates that the
     user has a secondary password, which must be entered to access
     the system.

   6. <Return>
     Username: JONES
     Password: <PASSWORD>
     User authorization failure
      <Return>
     Username: JONES
     Password: <PASSWORD>
     Welcome to OpenVMS Alpha (TM) Operating System, Version 6.2 on node LSR
             Last interactive login on Tuesday, 15-DEC-1995 09:16:47.08
             Last non-interactive login on Monday, 14-DEC-1995 17:32:34.27
             1 failure since last successful login.
     $

     This example shows the "User authorization failure" message,
     which indicates that the password has been entered incorrectly.
     After you successfully log in, a message is displayed showing
     the number of login failures since your last successful login.
     This message is displayed only if login failures have occurred.

   7. <Return>
     Username: JOYCE
     Password: <PASSWORD>
     Welcome to OpenVMS Alpha (TM) Operating System, Version 6.2 on node LSR
            Last interactive login on Tuesday, 15-DEC-1995 09:16:47.08
            Last non-interactive login on Monday, 14-DEC-1995 17:32:34.27
            WARNING - Primary password has expired; update immediately.
     $

     This example shows the WARNING message, which indicates that
     your primary password has expired. You must use the SET
     PASSWORD command to change your password before logging out,
     or you will be unable to log in again.

     For more information on changing your password, see the
     description of the SET PASSWORD command in this manual.

   8. <Return>
     Username: MIHALY/NEW_PASSWORD
     Password: <PASSWORD>
     Password: <PASSWORD>
           Welcome  to OpenVMS VAX Version 6.2 on node JUPITER
           Last interactive login on Tuesday, 15-DEC-1995 09:16:47.08
           Last non-interactive login on Monday, 14-DEC-1995 17:32:34.27
           Your password has expired; you must set a new password to log in.

               Old password: <PASSWORD>

               New password: <PASSWORD>

               Verification: <PASSWORD>

     In this example, the user enters the /NEW_PASSWORD qualifer
     after the user name MIHALY. The system then forces the user
     to set a new password immediately after login. The prompts are
     the same as those provided when you enter the DCL command SET
     PASSWORD from the command line.
