I just decided to attack a micro-11 system...
It's been a long time since I used RSX and longer since
I've administered it. So some procedures for doing things
I need to know or a pointer to.
TO shut down I do?
IIRC, from an account with privs, it _might_ be...
@[1,4]SHUTUP.CMD
... or something quite similar.
It is probably @[1,2]SHUTUP.CMD, or better RUN $SHUTUP

Basically, any account [1,x] is privileged, so you might create a new
account in this range before
fiddling with the old one and maybe accidentally disabling it (happened
to experience this myself :-))
It's been a long time, and I've worked with a
variety of early-1980s
versions of RSX, but the account, at least, is probably [1,4].
Unfortunately, I can't recall what program you have to invoke to
twiddle passwords and privs. It might even be dependent on exactly
what version of RSX you have, if it's an old one (not all that likely,
though, if it's a MicroPDP. It would be more likely on an 11/34,
say).
If I add a 8line mux (DHV or DZV) what the
procedure to get
system to install and recognise it.
IIRC, you'll have to do some type of SYSGEN - lots of questions to
answer, then several hours as your wee little F-11 spins its wheels
and builds a new system. I haven't done a sysgen in over 20 years, so
hopefully someone else with fresher experience can speak up.
This is infact a job for a sysgen which should be under UIC [200,200]
for a complete installation,
or on the OS distribution. You should have the manual for exactly the
same RSX you use version at hand,
because in sysgen there are always some subtle changes between the
versions which had hit me more than
once. And SYSGEN is not for faint-hearted, to be assured ;-)
On line DOCs
to refresh memory from?
I don't know of any, and I wasn't able to Google any. :-/

for one set.
