Attach; Break; Context - Novell LOGIN SCRIPTS - 08-2008 Manual

3.6 ATTACH

Establishes a connection between a workstation and a NetWare server. If the server is not in the

current tree, a bindery connection is made.

In networks running NetWare 3 or earlier versions, use the ATTACH command to connect to

multiple file servers. In NetWare 4 and later, users no longer need to attach separately to multiple

servers and do not need to use the ATTACH command. If users want to connect to multiple trees,

use the TREE command (see

Section 3.28, "TREE," on page

56).

TIP: To create persistent drive mappings, use the MAP command (see

Section 3.18, "MAP," on

page

47).

Use BREAK ON to allow the user to terminate execution of the login script. The default is BREAK

OFF. If BREAK ON is included in a login script, the user can press Ctrl+C or Ctrl+Break to abort the

normal execution of the login script.

NOTE: When the BREAK option is ON, type-ahead keyboard input is not saved to the buffer.

DOS BREAK ON/OFF does the same thing.

Command Format

BREAK ON|OFF

Use CONTEXT to set a user's current context in the eDirectory tree. Similar to the CX utility in DOS,

you can use a complete name to move down through the context, or you can use periods to move up

toward the root of the tree. However, CONTEXT does not support all options that the CX workstation

utility does; CONTEXT only sets the context.

Command Format

CONTEXT context

To change the current eDirectory context, replace context with the context that you want the user to

see after login.

Example

To change the context to the Organizational Unit SALES, under the Organization NOVELL_US add

the following line to the login script:

CONTEXT .SALES.NOVELL_US

You can type a single period instead of a container name to indicate that you want to move up one

level.
