The command line management utility is an interactive, command oriented interface for managing popstore accounts. Users with operating system privileges as well as users with privileged popstore accounts may use the utility. Also, the utility may be used as a report generator as described briefly in Section 6.15.2 and more completely in Chapter 9 .
The utility is invoked with the command
# pmdf popstoreUse the
exit or quit commands to exit the

6.1 Basic operation
Popstore accounts are managed using four basic commands:
add, delete, modify, and
show. These four commands add accounts, remove accounts,
modify accounts, and display information about accounts. Two additional
commands, copy and rename, may be used to
create new accounts which look like existing accounts and to change the
name of an existing account.
When an account is created with the add command, you may
also specify various account settings such as the account password, the
name of the account's owner, and storage quotas. Once the account is
created, you can subsequently change these settings with the
modify command.
Some of the account settings involve the use of values expressed in
units of storage or time. By default, the units of storage are kbytes
(1024 bytes), and the units of time are days. Within a session with the
utility, these units may be changed with the set command;
see the command descriptions in Section 6.17 for details.
