servicename

CHARON instance service name.

(warning) When using expect, the service is stopped by the expect script either with a "power off" or the "F6" key.

If this operation does not succeed (cannot connect to console or "F6" key not enabled for example), it is then stopped using a Windows service command.

For OpenVMS: username=system

For Tru64: username=root

Defines the password in clear text that will be used to connect to the console.

The password can be also stored in an encrypted clixml file as described below.

(warning) If password is sent then clixml (below) value must be set to "none"

PS C:\Charon> "<password>" | export-clixml <file>


Example:

PS C:\Charon> "12345" | export-clixml C:\Charon\myds20pwd.clixml


clixml=C:\Charon\myds20pwd.clixml
