- LAN Master - Readme file
-
- ------------------------------------------------------------
-
- LAN Master is a command processor that searches the NetWare
- Bindery to find user records and then processes a series of
- commands based on the user record found and the optional
- keyboard response.
-
- A sample COMMAND.DAT is located in the distribution ZIP
- file. This sample command file assumes that you have an
- application named ABC that resides on S:\ABC. It also
- assumes that in a directory named S:\ABC\USRFILES are some
- "private" files that must exist for each user. These could
- be user configuration files. The first command in the
- COMMAND.DAT file assigns ROS rights to users for the S:\ABC
- directory. The second command creates a subdirectory in
- each user's directory named ABC. Then the third line copies
- the private configuration files to a user directory that is
- F:\USER\userid\ABC, where userid is replaced by the actual
- User-ID for each person.
-
- COMMAND.DAT must reside in the current directory when you
- execute the program, and may be no more than 10 lines in
- length. To be safe with inserts, keep the length of the
- lines to around 100 characters. The command lines may
- contain two variables: %USERID% and %HEXID%. The "current"
- bindery record's username and hex-ID fields will be
- substituted into the command line.
-
- The process will scan the bindery looking for user (type 1)
- records. As a user record is found, the username will be
- displayed, and the "Process?" prompt will be displayed. If
- you answer "Y", the command set will be executed for that
- user, while "N" (or any other response) will skip that user.
-
- The entire 10-line command set is read at the start of the
- program, so the command lines can change directories or
- drives, and generally move around the system at will.
- Unless you redirect the output of each line to a file or
- nul, the responses will display on the screen.
-
- If you do not want the "Process?" prompt and do want to
- process ALL user records, start the program as follows:
-
- LANMAST N
