AUTOSYS (JANUS DEFINE parameter)

<section begin="desc" />subsys<section end="desc" />

AUTOSYS is a parameter on JANUS DEFINE, which defines and sets characteristics of a Janus port. See the List of JANUS DEFINE parameters.

This parameter sets the Model 204 AUTOSYS parameter to the indicated (subsys) value when a connection is received on a TNSERV port.

The AUTOSYS parameter is useful for providing functionality comparable to the equivalent user parameter for traditional Model 204 full-screen threads. Since TNSERV connections run on daemon threads, and since it would not be common for AUTOSYS to be set for daemon threads, this parameter makes it possible to provide AUTOSYS functionality specifically for Janus Telnet Server (:hdref refid=tnserv.) connections. For more information about the Janus Telnet Server, see the Janus Sockets Reference Manual.

The AUTOSYS parameter set via JANUS DEFINE remains intact over the lifetime of a telnet connection, even after a logoff and logon.

The AUTOSYS parameter must be followed by the name of a subsystem to be invoked after a login on the Telnet Server.

This parameter, like the Janus Telnet Server, is only available in Sirius Mods Version 6.9 and later.

Valid only for TNSERV ports.
