BatchLogin (2.0) BLTRC Configuration Specification

[Back]
The primary programs used to as entry points to the BatchLogin process are bl2 and blt2. Both programs, before execution, attempt to read a resource file, aptly named bltrc. This file resides under the root level of a users .batch2 directory. For example, user bob's bltrc would be located here:
   /export/home/bob/.batch2/bltrc
The format of the file is korn shell, the file is simply read into the default process before either program gets to an execution point. During initial setup of BatchLogin, a fairly generic version of this file is written. As users advance (read, get annoyed with default behavior), they may wish to alter this file extensively.

This document explains some of the more common settings available.

Syntax

# 
# Written by /opt/fericyde/bl2/batchlogin on Thu Mar 25 13:22:57 EST 2004
# 
DEFAULTLIST=myservers.blf
SCRIPT=SHELL.exp
TERMLOGIN=termstart.sh
PWUPDEF=c
PWUPTIME=5
BL_COLOR="WB"
#  Turn off display for non blt sessions
# NODISPLAY=YES
#

The above example bltrc demonstrates fairly straightforward shell script syntax. Note that part of the magic of what's going on with these settings involves the fact that BatchLogin is exporting the variables so that sub-processes "see" them. The general syntax is:
VARNAME=[value]

Variables

NODISPLAY=[YES|NO] BL_COLOR="[BW|WB]" NODISPLAY=[YES|NO]

Timeout/pw behavior values

export PWUPDEF=c export PWNODEDEF=c export PWERRDEF=p export PWUPTIMEOUT=10 export PWERRTIMEOUT=10 export PWRUNTIMEOUT=10 export LOG_CRYPT="| $CRYPT %s.rsa -blo"
