UNIX Style Format
rlogin host [ -8 ] [ -ec ] [ -l remote_user_name ]
This format is valid only when logging in to a UNIX system.
2 Parameters
host
Required.
Remote host to which you want to connect.
2 Qualifiers
/DROP_TIMEOUT
/DROP_TIMEOUT=seconds
Required if you set /PROBE_TIMEOUT.
Maximum interval, in seconds, that your network link can be down
before the software closes it.
/EIGHTBIT
/EIGHTBIT
-8 (UNIX style, valid only on UNIX systems)
Optional. Default: only 7-bit data is sent.
Accepts 8-bit data from the terminal and sends it to the remote
system.
/ESCAPE_CHARACTER
/ESCAPE_CHARACTER=character
-ec (UNIX style, valid only on UNIX systems)
Optional. Default: ~ (tilde).
New escape character if you want to close your RLOGIN session
from the remote host.
To close your session from your local host, use a period ( . ) as
the escape command.
/LOG_FILE
/LOG_FILE=file
Optional. Default: no logging.
Logs a copy of the output to the specified file. Output continues
to be directed to SYS$OUTPUT while it is being recorded in the
log file.
/LOWERCASE
/LOWERCASE
/NOLOWERCASE
Optional. Default: /LOWERCASE.
Sends your local user name to the remote host in lowercase.
To send your user name in uppercase, use either of the following:
o Specify /NOLOWERCASE.
o Enclose the user name in quotation marks ( " " ). (See /USER_
NAME.)
To send your user name in mixed case, enclose it in quotation
marks ( " " ).
/PROBE_TIMEOUT
/PROBE_TIMEOUT=seconds
Required if you set /DROP_TIMEOUT.
Interval, in seconds, that DIGITAL TCP/IP Services for OpenVMS
checks to see if your network link and the remote host are both
still up.
/TERMINAL_SPEED
/TERMINAL_SPEED=baud
Optional. Default: current speed of your terminal.
Terminal speed in baud rate.
/TERMINAL_TYPE
/TERMINAL_TYPE=type
Optional. Default: type of physical terminal you are using.
Terminal type. Use this qualifier if the remote host does not
recognize your terminal.
/TRUNCATE_USER_NAME
/TRUNCATE_USER_NAME
/NOTRUNCATE_USER_NAME
Optional. Default: /NOTRUNCATE_USER_NAME.
Abbreviates the user name sent to the remote host to eight
characters (required for older UNIX hosts, which limit user names
to eight characters).
/USER_NAME
/USER_NAME=remote_user_name
-l remote_user_name (UNIX style, valid only on UNIX systems)
Optional. Default: current name on local host, but in lowercase.
Your user name on the remote host. Specify this qualifier if your
user names on the remote host and local host are different.
To send your user name in uppercase, use either of the following:
o Specify /NOLOWERCASE.
o Enclose the user name in quotation marks ( " " ).
To send your user name in mixed case, enclose it in quotation
marks ( " " ).
2 Examples
1.$ RLOGIN /USER_NAME="BlissTon" ROLLS
An OpenVMS user logs in to account BlissTon on UNIX host rolls.
The mixed-case remote user name is in quotation marks so RLOGIN
does not send it all lowercase, which is the default. This
example assumes the user has a proxy account on the remote
host.
2.$ RLOGIN /NOLOWERCASE /USER_NAME=DAVE PLETHORA
User DAVE starts an interactive login session with UNIX host
plethora. Because this user has an uppercase user name, it is
specified with the /NOLOWERCASE qualifier. This example assumes
the user has a proxy account on the remote host.

%RLOGIN-S-REMCLOSED, Remote connection closed
$
OpenVMS user BLACK, with UNIX user name black, logs in to UNIX
host pjaro and resets the escape character to a plus sign. By
default, DIGITAL TCP/IP Services for OpenVMS passes the user
name and commands to the remote host in lowercase.
4.$ RLOGIN FANTAC <Return>
OpenVMS Version 7.1 - Unauthorized access is prohibited.
Username: TDERR <Return>

$
TDERR logs in to remote OpenVMS host FANTAC.
5.$ RLOGIN QANCE /DROP_TIMEOUT=45
%RLOGIN-E-INETERROR, Internet interface error
-RLOGIN-I-INETCALL, setsockopt(TCP_DROP_IDLE)
-SYSTEM-F-BADPARAM, bad parameter value
$
The command fails because the /DROP_TIMEOUT and /PROBE_TIMEOUT
qualifiers must both be set.
