OPERATOR.COM --- Big, hairy set of command procedures to perform a wide variety of user-friendly operator chores from a captive account. This assumes pretty brain-damaged operators are at the controls. Help is provided at almost every prompt. Operators will still need some minor instruction. This distribution should contain the following files: ACCSUMM.COM;1 Summarize accounting data BACKUPS.COM;1 Perform full and incremental backups EDIT.COM;1 Use an editor (EDT) EDT.INI;1 Initialization file for EDT HELP.COM;1 Access system HELP HELP.TXT;1 Operator HELP text MAIL.COM;1 Run VMS MAIL MAKETAPE.COM;1 Write accounting tape for the bean counters NAIL.EXE;1 Gracefully slay a process (with warning) NAIL.FOR;1 Source to above OPLOG.COM;1 The OPERATOR login procedure (The big guy) PHONE.COM;1 Run VMS PHONE RESTART.COM;1 Initialize accounting data RESTORE.COM;1 Restore a file found on backup journal See the OPLOG.COM file for customization instructions. This package has been successfully used at Hughes SCG Computing technology Center for the last three years. It may be a bit kludgy and certainly it could be cleaned up; but great pains have been taken to insure that the command procedure does not allow even clever operators to gain access to the monitor, and thus to full VMS privileges. So far, this has never happened (knock-knock!). As always, this is offered 'as is', but the author will endeavor to answer any questions or listen to suggestions.
