Parameters
logfile
Full path to the log file that will be used to log the script output.
Example:
logfile=C:\Charon\myds20vms_shutdown.log
windowsevent
Defines which message levels will create a new entry in the Windows Application Events (Source="CHARON")
Can be either "none" or any combination of S, W and E. 'S' for Success, 'W' for Warning and 'E' for Error. Default is 'SE' so Success and Error only.
Example:
windowsevent=SWE
waitbeforestop
Number of seconds to wait before stopping the service once the guest operating system no longer responds to 'ping'. If not set, default value = 60.
Example:
waitbeforestop=10
servicename
CHARON instance service name
Example:
servicename=myds20vms
guestsystem
Server name or IP address
Example:
guestsystem=10.0.0.3
os
VMS or Tru64
Example:
os=VMS
mode
rsh
Example:
mode=rsh
rshbin
Defines the location of the "rsh.exe" program.
Example:
rshbin=C:\charon\rsh.exe
username
Defines the remote username that will be used to connect to the guest operating system via rsh.
Example:
username=system
openconsolecmd
Optional parameter used to open the console program while executing the script.
It is recommended to define this parameter in case of integration with Windows shutdown
Example:
openconsolecmd=C:\Program Files\CHARON\Build_20203\x64\putty
openconsolearg
Optional parameter defining the parameters of the openconsolecmd parameter above.
Example:
openconsolearg=-load OPA0 -P 10003
windowwidth and windowheight
Optional parameters used to resize the window when running with service user ("system" account).
Useful during Windows shutdown to check operations executed.
Width = 132 and Height = 32 by default. BufferHeight set 2000 lines by default.
Example:
windowwidth=120
windowheight=50
Enabling remote connection on Tru64
To allow connections from the Windows server to the Tru64 guest system without having to specify a password, the Tru64 local account's .rhosts file has to be updated with the name or IP address of the Windows system and the account used.
The .rhosts file contains a list of remote users who are not required to supply a login password when they use the local user account and execute the rcp, rlogin, and rsh commands (see "# man rhosts" for more).
In the example below, a proxy will be created between the Windows 'administrator' account (the IP address of the Windows system is 10.0.0.1) and the Tru64 'root' account (the IP address of the Tru64 system is 10.0.0.2).
Enabling remote connection on OpenVMS
Enable the REXEC and RSH service on OpenVMS by executing the TCPIP$CONFIG script (depending on the OpenVMS version, the script could also be called UCX$CONFIG):
VMS084> @sys$manager:tcpip$config
Checking TCP/IP Services for OpenVMS configuration database files.

To allow connection from the Windows server to the OpenVMS guest system without specifying a password, a proxy must be created between the Windows user that will execute the 'rsh' command and the OpenVMS user account:
In the example below, a proxy will be created between the Windows 'administrator' account (the IP address of the Windows system is 10.0.0.1) and the OpenVMS 'system' account (the IP address of the OpenVMS system is 10.0.0.3)
VMS084> tcpip
TCPIP> add proxy system /remote=administrator /host=10.0.0.1
TCPIP> show proxy
VMS User_name Type User_ID Group_ID Host_name
SYSTEM CD ADMINISTRATOR 10.0.0.1
