Novell Login Script Setup

 eDeclaration can be run automatically with a login script. Here are steps of how to set it up. You need admin rights to do it.

  • Edit the eDeclaration.ini in the package.
  • Ensure Login Start=Server in the eDeclaration.ini.
  • Launch ConsoleOne.
  • Select a container or a user.
  • Right click on the mouse.
  • select Login Script tab.
  • If there is no login script, add a new one called eDeclaration.src
  • Create the new eDeclaration.src as the following; otherwise just copy them to the existing script accordingly.

This is an example of the login script

NO_DEFAULT
MAP DISPLAY OFF
MAP ERRORS OFF
; Set general drive mappings
MAP INS ROOT S1:=%fileserver\SYS:PUBLIC
MAP ROOT F:=%fileserver\SYS:LOGIN
MAP ROOT Z:=%fileserver\DATA:\CompanyFiles\Apps\
......
; Run eDeclaration
IF EXIST Z:\eDeclaration\eDeclaration.exe THEN
@Z:\eDeclaration\eDeclaration.exe
END

MAP DISPLAY ON

This is an example of the login script with a user logon

NO_DEFAULT
MAP DISPLAY OFF
MAP ERRORS OFF
; Set general drive mappings
MAP INS ROOT S1:=%fileserver\SYS:PUBLIC
MAP ROOT F:=%fileserver\SYS:LOGIN
MAP ROOT Z:=%fileserver\DATA:\CompanyFiles\Apps\
......
; Run eDeclaration
IF EXIST Z:\eDeclaration\eDeclaration.exe THEN
@Z:\eDeclaration\eDeclaration.exe "%LOGIN_NAME"
END

MAP DISPLAY ON

Note:

@Z:\eDeclaration\eDeclaration.exe is used because
Use the @ command to execute a program that is external to the login script and then continue with the script (similar to the Startup group). Use the @ command instead of the # command to run an external program from a login script if that external program will remain open for any length of time. Otherwise, the login script will remain open until that external program is closed. (Login scripts cannot be edited while they are open.)

Use the # command to execute a program that is external to the login script. The # command executes an external program and waits until it is finished running before continuing with other login script commands

A user name can be passed as a parameter in the command line. eg. @Z:\eDeclaration\eDeclaration.exe a_user_name
