The Question is: Can I execute tcpip ping from within a captive account? We are running Version 5 on 7.2-1H1. I have the account set for oper and cmkrnl privileges, but when I try to execute the command: tcpip ping <host> /number_packets=2 from within a command file for the captive account it breaks and logs out. I do not get an error message. Its not just the ping command, it appears that I can't access tcpip at all from the captive account. The Answer is : The following output: $ set hos 0 ... pinging PING [otherhost] ([ip address]): 56 data bytes 64 bytes from [ip address]: icmp_seq=0 ttl=63 time=9 ms 64 bytes from [ip address]: icmp_seq=1 ttl=63 time=2 ms ----[otherhost] PING Statistics---- 2 packets transmitted, 2 packets received, 0% packet loss round-trip (ms) min/avg/max = 2/5/9 ms pinged; pinging again %TCPIP-E-LOOPERROR, error processing loop request -CLI-E-CAPTSPAWN, captive account - SPAWN command not allowed ping error: %DCL-E-CAPTINT, captive account - interactive access denied [username] logged out at... %REM-S-END, control returned to node... was generated by the following DCL command procedure: $ on warning then goto err $ write sys$output "pinging" $ ping :== $TCPIP$PING $ ping -c 2 star.zko.dec.com $ write sys$output "pinged; pinging again" $ tcpip ping star.zko.dec.com /number_packets=2 $ write sys$output "pinged. bye!" $ exit $err: $ savestat = $status $ write sys$output "ping error: ''savestat" $ exit The cause of the captive command procedure exit that you report should be clear based on the DCL example and the output and messages generated, as should the alternative approach demonstrated within the procedure. This example was generated and tested on: DIGITAL TCP/IP Services for OpenVMS Alpha Version V5.0A - ECO 1 on a AlphaStation 255/300 running OpenVMS V7.2-1
