Description
The nwlogin utility allows a user to log in to a Novell file server or eDirectory tree from a terminal.

scripts and modify variables.
You must specify the username, password, tree, context, and server.

-E, --passenv

to be the password that you want login to use (when you pass it using -passenv) instead of
specifying the password on the command line.

export NWPassword=novell
nwlogin -r -t mytree -s myserver -u admin -c mycontext --passenv
-r runscripts
Runs any scripts associated with the specified username.
