Compaq SC RMS 10.2.24 The Users Table

Listing of Tables

An example of the transaction to add a partition is shown below in Table 10.32.

The handle is a unique number,generated automatically, which is passed to both the

service and the client. The service uses the handle to label any output resulting from the

transaction; the client uses the handle to select the resulting entries.

If the service fails, the output log (conventionally in the directory /var/rms/adm/log)

may contain useful diagnostics. Client applications wait for the transaction to complete

and then cat the logﬁle.

10.2.24 The Users Table

The users table shown in Table 10.33, contains information on each user’s projects.

Table10.33: Users Table

Field Type Description

name char(16) login name

projects text list of the user’s projects

The projects ﬁeld may containa single project name or a comma-separated list of

project names. The wildcard, *, may be speciﬁed as a project name denoting that the

user is a member of all projects.

The ordering ofthe names in the list is signiﬁcant: the ﬁrst project speciﬁed is the user’s

default project. For purposes of accounting, access control and scheduling,the default

project is assumed unless the user explicitly speciﬁes another project. A projectcan be

speciﬁed explicitly by using the environment variable RMS_PROJECT or by using the -P

option to prun or allocate.
