The command line management utility is an interactive, command oriented interface for managing popstore and MessageStore accounts. Users with operating system privileges as well as users with privileged popstore or MessageStore accounts can use the utility. Also, the utility can be used as a report generator as described briefly in Section 7.15.2 and more completely in Chapter 9.

To run the utility, issue the DCL command

$ PMDF POPSTORE or $ PMDF MSGSTORE

Use the EXIT or QUIT command to exit the utility. Table Table 7-1 summarizes the recognized commands; see Section 7.18 for complete command descriptions.

7.1 Basic Operation

When an account is created with the ADD command, you can also specify various account settings such as the account password, the name of the account's owner, and storage quotas. Once the account is created, you can subsequently change these settings with the MODIFY command.

Some of the account settings involve the use of values expressed in units of storage or time. By default, the units of storage are kbytes (1024 bytes), and the units of time are days. Within a session with the utility, these units can be changed with the SET command; see the command descriptions in Section 7.18 for details.
