Maxc OperationsCreating and Destroying Maxc Accounts7919.7. Destroying a Maxc AccountMaxc directories are destroyed after either an explicit request from a Maxc directory owner (rare),after the sign out procedure that occurs when someone leaves PARC, or when we find out by someother means that a directory is dead. Ron Weaver is notified when someone leaves PARC, and heeither destroys the Maxc directory (most desirable) or converts it to files-only (less desirable buthard to avoid if there are too many still-useful files archived out of the directory). Directories forusers outside PARC may become dead, but we have no convenient method of automatic discovery.Prior to destruction, the directory owner should delete unnecessary files and rename useful onesinto the directory of a coworker. Users are sometimes sloppy about cleaning up their directories, sothe person who is going to kill the directory should, as a safety measure, delete obsolete versions offiles and archive current versions as follows:!CONNECT olddirectory!DELVER!ARCHIVE FILE *.*;*---prints out what is going to be archived---!DELETE *.*;*---deletes archived files, but not those about to be archived---Then wait for the twice-weekly archiving run to take place. After that, all information about fileswill be contained in the archive directory, and you can continue with the procedures discussedbelow. If the directory does not have an archive directory, this safety procedure cannot befollowed.The person who is about to destroy the directory should list one copy of the archive directory beforedestruction, as follows:!CONNECT olddirectory!INTERROGATE *.*;*,!!EVERYTHING!!LPT!!This copy is stapled to the original directory application and filed in the CSL dead directory file.When a directory is destroyed, any files remaining in it will be deleted. It is less automatic toretrieve archived files belonging to a deleted directory. Retaining a listing of the archive directoryis a new practice, so directories destroyed before 19 April 1978 can readily be accessed only byrecreating the directory.The procedure for destroying a directory involves retrieving the original directory request form fromour files (Kathi Anderson), marking it as destroyed, and refiling. For PARC directories, the formshould also be considered for destroying IVY IFS directories for the person who is departing, if thatis appropriate.To destroy a Maxc directory, proceed as follows:1.
