PURGEACCT
CAUTION Do not attempt to purge the SYS account. The SYS account cannot be
completely purged, but you can destroy critical files by attempting to do so. If
you execute PURGEACCT SYS, all groups except PUB are purged; all users
except the system manager are purged; and all inactive files and system files
in the PUB group are purged.
NOTE If you specify volume-related commands or parameters for a volume set that
is not currently mounted, or for an account that does not exist, MPE/iX
returns an error message.
Use
This command may be issued from a session, job, program, or in BREAK. Pressing Break
has no effect on this command. System manager (SM) capability is required to execute this
command.
Examples
To remove an account named ACCT1, enter:
PURGEACCT ACCT1
ACCT ACCT1 TO BE PURGED? YES
:
To purge the account FARFLE from the volume set TIME_LORD, you need to issue two
commands:
PURGEACCT FARFLE
ACCT FARFLE TO BE PURGED? YES
:
PURGEACCT FARFLE;ONVS=TIME_LORD
ACCT FARFLE TO BE PURGED? YES
:
The first command informs the system volume set of the purge; the second informs the
mountable volume set.
