Abstract: DORMANT is a utility that reports UAF account inactivity to you so you can locate the non-users of your system. This can aid the VAX System Manager with every day account and security management.

You specify the criteria for determining which accounts are to be reported as dormant or near dormant. The qualifiers /WARNING and /WATCH are used to do this. If you do not supply the qualifiers, DORMANT uses defaults of sixty days for WARNING and thirty days for WATCH. DORMANT will also report any accounts that have never been used.

The command $ DORMANT/WATCH=100/WARNING=200 will cause DORMANT to report all accounts inactive 200 days or more as WARNING accounts and all accounts between 100 and 200 days inactive as WATCH accounts.

The report is written to the file DORMANT.RPT. This file can then be printed on a printer. The DORMANT report uses Digital Equipment Corporation special graphics so you will need a printer that supports this.

An automatic installation procedure is provided if you need it. It will perform any compiles and links, create the command definition file and setup the DORMANT help file. The installation procedure does not install DORMANT system-wide. DORMANT is installed only for the account that invokes the automatic installation procedure.
