HP OpenVMS Systems

ask the wizard

Using SET PROMPT?

» close window

The Question is:

 
If I reset the system prompt with the Set Prompt command, then reboot and
log back in - will my new prompt still be in effect or will it return to the
default?
 
If default - How can I make it stay with my new prompt each time?

The Answer is :

 
  SET PROMPT effects only the prompt used for the current process.
 
  The desired value must be established when each process is logged
  in, and after a system reboot.
 
  To retain the desired value across reboots, place the SET PROMPT
  command in the individual user's LOGIN.COM procedure, or make it
  available to all users via the system-wide SYLOGIN.COM procedure.
