The final piece of information needed for PhoneNet and Pager channels
is the connection script to use for each particular
channel, device, and
script combination. The
script field of an entry identifies a file
containing the PhoneNet script. The script is located in a subdirectory
under the PMDF table directory. The subdirectory has the same name as
the channel. On OpenVMS systems, the script file would be named as
PMDF_ROOT:[table.channel]script_script.;
on UNIX platforms, the script file would be named as
/pmdf/table/channel/script_script; on NT
systems, the script file typically would be named as
C:\pmdf\table\channel \script_script.
Different or common files may be used for each
channel, device,
script combination. Each connection may
potentially require a completely different script, or it may share a
script with many other entries, depending on the application. Note the
use of an individual subdirectory for each channel.
The format of script files is described in Section 25.5 .
Note:
It is customary to protect script files from world or group access: script files generally contain the information required to login on remote system running PhoneNet. If that remote system runs PMDF, then the remote account will be a restricted account. But, nonetheless, it is best to protect this information.
