pts_source

PTS_SOURCE(1)						       AFS Command Reference						     PTS_SOURCE(1)

NAME

       pts_source - Read pts commands from a file

SYNOPSIS

       pts source [-file] <file name> [-cell] <cell name>
	  [-noauth] [-localauth] [-force]

       pts so [-f] <file name> [-c] <cell name>
	  [-n] [-l] [-f]

DESCRIPTION

       The pts source runs commands from a file as if they were typed in pts interactive mode. The command can be run from the command line or
       interactively.

CAUTIONS

       Prior to OpenAFS 1.4.5 and OpenAFS 1.5.23, the pts source command was only available on Unix or Linux and when OpenAFS was compiled with
       the supergroups option (disabled by default).  As of OpenAFS 1.4.5 and 1.5.23, it is always available.

OPTIONS

       pts source takes the following options:

       -cell <cell name>
	   Names the cell in which to run the command. For more details, see pts(1).

       -force
	   Enables the command to continue executing as far as possible when errors or other problems occur, rather than halting execution at the
	   first error.

       -help
	   Prints the online help for this command. All other valid options are ignored.

       -localauth
	   Constructs a server ticket using a key from the local /etc/openafs/server/KeyFile file. Do not combine this flag with the -cell or
	   -noauth options. For more details, see pts(1).

       -noauth
	   Assigns the unprivileged identity anonymous to the issuer. For more details, see pts(1).

OUTPUT

       This command shows the output of each command in the file as if it were run normally.

EXAMPLES

       Here is an example of using pts source in a pts interactive session:

	  % echo examine admin > /tmp/commands.txt
	  % pts interactive
	  pts> source /tmp/commands.txt
	  Name: admin, id: 1, owner: system:administrators, creator: anonymous,
	    membership: 2, flags: S----, group quota: 20.
	  pts> quit
	  %
