- SHOWUSER is a Netware(tm) utility that allows the supervisor of the
- network to display all the users in the bindery file of a file server
- and delete users who fall into certain categories. It also allows the
- supervisor to reset the accounting balance for each user. It displays
- the user's name, their last login date and time, their full name, and
- what their balance is. It can display all the users in the bindery or
- only certain ones that match a certain criteria. It also allows the
- supervisor to delete all users who fall into these same conditions.
- For example, all users that haven't logged in since a certain time
- can be deleted as well as all users that have a certain name.
-
- The syntax for SHOWUSER is as follows.
-
- SU {username} {options}
-
- where {username} is any valid Novell user name. It can include the wildcard
- value (*) as part of the name. If none is entered, the programs displays all
- users on the current server.
-
- The possible values for {options} are:
-
- /L:DATE --> Displays users that have NOT logged in since DATE.
- /R --> Removes all users that match above criteria.
- /F --> Display list as comma separated variable length records.
- /B:BALANCE --> Resets account balance to BALANCE.
- /? --> Displays a help screen.

- /*****************************************************************************/
- /*********** '/L' option. */
- /*****************************************************************************/
-
- The '/L' option ( short for 'Logged') can be used to display users that
- have 'NOT' logged in since a certain date. For example, to display
- all users that have not logged in since January 1 of 1991, you could
- type in the following command line:
-
- SU /L:01/01/91
-
- Notice that the date must be typed in as MM/DD/YY. For example, if the
- date wanted is August 4, 1990 it must be entered as 08/04/90 and not
- 8/4/90.
-
-
- /*****************************************************************************/
- Note:
- /*****************************************************************************/
-
- /*****************************************************************************/
- /*********** '/R' option. */
- /*****************************************************************************/
-
- The '/R' is particularly helpful for deleting users that have not logged
- in recently. For example, if you were the supervisor and wanted to delete
- all users that have not logged in since August 1 of 1990, you could
- type in the line:
-
- SU /L:08/01/90 /R
-
- This would search for all users that have not logged in since August 1
- of 1990 and would prompt you to delete them. If you type in 'Y' at the
- prompt, the user will be deleted from the bindery file permanently so
- be very careful when using this option. This option can be combined with
- the '/L' and '/D' command.
-
- The safest thing to do is type in your request without the '/R' command
- to see everyone that will be deleted and then issue the same command
- but with the '/R' option.
-
- /*****************************************************************************/
- /*********** '/F' option. */
- /*****************************************************************************/
-
- The '/F' parameter is used to make the program display the output in a way
- that can be redirected to a file and imported into a database. If the
- output of the line 'su' is as follows:
-
-
- User Last Login Time Full Name Balance
- ---- --------------- --------- -------
- SUPERVISOR 09/07/91 08:40:28 P.M. The Supervisor 100
- GUEST 09/02/91 11:11:46 A.M. Guest on Server1 500
- DANNY 09/03/91 06:55:40 P.M. Daniel Dow 300
- TEMPUSER 00/00/00 00:00:00 A.M. Temporary User 0
-
- then the output of 'SU /f' will look like this:
-
- "SUPERVISOR","09/07/91","08:40:28 P.M.","The Supervisor",100
- "GUEST","09/02/91","11:11:46 A.M.","Guest on Server1",500
- "DANNY","09/03/91","06:55:40 P.M.","Daniel Dow",300
- "TEMPUSER","00/00/00","00:00:00 A.M.","Temporary User",0
-
- This is very useful if you need to generate reports of the usage of the
- server. You could redirect the output to a file with the command line:
-
- SU /f > user.txt
-
- and then import the file 'user.txt' into your database program. You
- could then determine who is logging into the server and who is not.
-
- /*****************************************************************************/
- /*********** '/B' option. */
- /*****************************************************************************/
-
- The '/B' parameter is used reset the accounting balance used by Netware.
- The syntax is /B:balance. Once this option is invoked, the program will
- prompt the supervisor whether to reset the balance or not.
-
- For example, the line:
-
- SU A* /B:1000
-
- would reset the balance for all users whose name starts with 'A'. It will
- only reset the balance after the supervisors verifies each name.
