=head1 NAME
pts interactive - Enters interactive mode
=head1 SYNOPSIS
=for html
<div class="synopsis">
B<pts interactive> S<<< [B<-cell>] <I<cell name>> >>> [B<-noauth>]
[B<-force>]
B<pts in> S<<< [B<-c>] <I<cell name>> >>> [B<-n>] [B<-f>]
=for html
</div>
=head1 DESCRIPTION
The B<pts interactive> command allows the user to enter an interactive
mode, useful for running bulk commands like creating new users or groups.
=head1 CAUTIONS
Prior to OpenAFS 1.4.5 and OpenAFS 1.5.23, the B<pts interactive> command
was only available on Unix or Linux and when OpenAFS was compiled with the
supergroups option (disabled by default). As of OpenAFS 1.4.5 and 1.5.23,
it is always available.
Running bulk B<pts> commands may degrade the performance of the Protection
Server while they are run and server resources may not be released
immediately after commands are run. The B<pts sleep> command can be used
in interactive mode or with B<pts source> to give the Protection Server a
change to catch up.
=head1 OPTIONS
B<pts interactive> only takes the standard B<pts> options.
=over 4
=item B<-cell> <I<cell name>>
Names the cell in which to run the command. For more details, see
L<pts(1)>.
=item B<-force>
Enables the command to continue executing as far as possible when errors
or other problems occur, rather than halting execution at the first error.
This is useful for bulk operations where you would like to continue even
if one of many operations fails.
=item B<-noauth>
Assigns the unprivileged identity anonymous to the issuer. For more
details, see L<pts(1)>.
=back
=head1 OUTPUT
The output is the same as if each individual command were run from the
command line.
=head1 EXAMPLES
Here is an example of a B<pts interactive> session:
% pts interactive
pts> examine admin
Name: admin, id: 1, owner: system:administrators, creator: anonymous,
membership: 2, flags: S----, group quota: 20.
pts> help
pts: Commands are:
adduser add a user to a group
apropos search by help text
chown change ownership of a group
creategroup create a new group
createuser create a new user
delete delete a user or group from database
examine examine an entry
help get help on commands
interactive enter interactive mode
listentries list users/groups in the protection database
listmax list max id
listowned list groups owned by an entry or zero id gets orphaned groups
membership list membership of a user or group
quit exit program
removeuser remove a user from a group
rename rename user or group
setfields set fields for an entry
setmax set max id
sleep pause for a bit
source read commands from file
pts> quit
%
=head1 PRIVILEGE REQUIRED
The same privilege is required to run the command in interactive mode as
is required to run the command by itself on the command line. Some
commands such as B<pts createuser> require that the user belong to the
system:administrators group, while others do not.
