Whine, whine!
If you don't want to abbreviate your typing with "SH SYS/F", follow this:
In your SYS$LOGIN:LOGIN.COM, add this line:
$ IF F$TYPE(PS).EQS."" THEN PS :== $SYS$LOGIN:PS.COM The "IF" will only define it if it hasn't already been defined. Then, from the command line, "CREATE SYS$LOGIN:PS.COM", and paste this in your terminal window:
$! ps.com $! $! Quickie for Unixy-types. $! $ ON WARNING THEN EXIT $ ON CONTROL_Y THEN EXIT $! $ args = F$EDIT(p1,"UPPER,COLLAPSE") $ parm = "" $ IF args.eqs."-EFL" THEN parm = "/FULL" $ SHOW SYSTEM'parm' $! $ EXIT
...then hit <CTRL-Z> to save it. No need to worry about an execution security bit on VMS for command procs.
If your LOGIN.COM is fully re-entrant (most aren't), you can simply @SYS$LOGIN:LOGIN.COM to get your "ps" command, just like ". ~/.profile" for Korn. Your best bet is to logout and back in.
Likewise, you can add the following quickies to your LOGIN.COM:
$ cat :== type $ cd :== set default $ grep :== search $ up :== set default [-] $ ls :== directory $ ll :==
Please only use these interactively. If your LOGIN.COM separates out modes of operation (e.g. "IF F$MODE().EQS."INTERACTIVE"), put these symbol refinitions in the INTERACTIVE area and not in BATCH or NETWORK.
If you'd like more help with your VMS environment, give me a holler directly and we'll get you some help.
