The emdir command can be used on its own or with the following parameters: name, first name, division, phone, experiment, institute, institute phone and mail address.
If parameters are given the database will be accessed in order to retrieve an entry corresponding to the parameters. A %, *, _ or ? may be used to replace any missing parameters, or as a wild card at either end of or within any of the parameters. For further information on how to use the emdir command please refer to the relevant man pages.
Nearly all new entries on emdir are created automatically upon registration for an account on any of the central computers at CERN. However, if this is not the case, send an email message to emdirmgr@vxcern.cern.ch asking for the creation of your emdir entry. Thereafter, you will be responsible for its update.
