- NLIST
- By John M. Brown
- 3/20/90
-
- NLIST is a useful replacement for the SLIST command in a Novell
- NetWare network. It lists the servers found in two columns and uses
- color coding to indicate the status of a server. To use the command,
- simply type NLIST <Enter>.
-
- As it is, NLIST will display all servers found. But in addition to
- that, it can detect if there are servers missing by accessing a data
- file located in the SYS:LOGIN directory. If there is a server in the
- file that is not found by NLIST, it will mark that server in red.
-
- The color codes for NLIST are as follows:
-
- Reverse video brown - Server you originally logged into.
- Yellow - Current default server.
- White - Other attached servers.
- Red - Unavailable servers (needs SYS:LOGIN\NLIST.TXT file)
- Cyan - All other servers.
-
- If you wish to use the data file, it must be called NLIST.TXT and
- it must be located in the SYS:LOGIN directory. By putting it in the
- SYS:LOGIN directory, you can use NLIST without logging in. NLIST.TXT
- should have the following format, one line for each server:
-
- file-server-name, file-server-description
-
- If you include a description of the file server, it will replace
- the address in the display with that description. Included is an
- example of what the file NLIST.TXT should look like.
