- Console Commands
-
-
-
- This section lists and describes each console command.
- Console commands are commands that can be entered only
- at the server console command line. Unless otherwise
- noted, the command can be used in the AUTOEXEC.NCF file
- but not in the STARTUP.NCF file.
-
- Server console commands can also be placed in NetWare
- Command Files other than the AUTOEXEC.NCF file. These
- files are usually given the extension .NCF and placed in
- the SYS:SYSTEM directory. These command files can then
- be executed by typing the command file name (without the
- .NCF extension) at the server console command line. A
- command file can invoke another command file (up to a
- limit of 6 levels deep). When a command file invokes
- another command file, all the commands in the invoked
- file are executed and then execution of the commands in
- the invoking file continues.
-
-
-
-
- Add Name Space
-
- Enables you to add non-DOS files, such as Macintosh
- files, to a NetWare volume. The command is executed once
- for each naming convention. The MAC.NAM loadable module
- must be loaded before you can execute this command.Bind
-
- Binds the specified protocol stack to a LAN board. The
- LAN board is specified by the LAN driver name if the
- driver is only servicing one board. If the LAN driver
- is servicing more than one board the optional parameters
- indicate the hardware settings of the board to be
- unbound.
-
- NetWare 386 supports multiple protocol stacks in the
- server. The bind command is used to connect protocol
- stacks and LAN boards. Multiple protocol stacks can use
- a single LAN board, and a single protocol stack can use
- multiple LAN boards. This command cannot be used if the
- server is down.
-
- See also the Unbind command.
-
- Broadcast
-
- Enables you to send a message to all users logged in or
- attached to the file server, or to a list of users or
- connection numbers.
-
- Clear Station
-
- Logs out the user from the specified station. It also
- removes the user's connection to the server. Thus, the
- workstation will no longer be attached and will be able
- to access only files in the LOGIN directory. If there
- are files in use by the workstation when the clear
- station command is issued then the server will print a
- warning on the console screen, and interactively prompt
- for confirmation before clearing the station. This
- command cannot be used if the server is down.
-
- CLS
-
- Clears the console screen.
-
- See also the off command.
-
- Config
-
- Displays the hardware settings being used by the server.Disable Login
-
- Prevents additional users from logging into the server.
- This command cannot be used while the server is down.
- Bringing down the server automatically disables login.
-
- See also the enable login command.
-
- Disable TTS
-
- Turns off the TTS feature. TTS is disabled automatically
- when the TTS backout volume is full or when server memory
- is insufficient. You can also disable TTS indirectly by
- dismounting the backout volume. When TTS is disabled,
- workstations can still make transactions in a database,
- but TTS offers no protection to the database.
-
- See also the enable tts command.
-
- Dismount Volume
-
- Causes the specified volume to be dismounted. If you
- have open files on that volume, the server prints a
- warning on the console screen, and prompts for
- confirmation before it dismounts the volume.
-
- If the volume being dismounted contains the bindery
- files, the bindery is closed. All requests that require
- access to the bindery will fail until the bindery volume
- is remounted. This command cannot be used if the server
- is down. Bringing down the server automatically
- dismounts all volumes.
-
- See also the mount volume and mount all commands.
-
- Display Networks
-
- Displays a list of all networks that the router is aware
- of. The list shows the IPX network number, the number
- of hops (networks that must be crossed) to reach the
- network, and the estimated time in ticks (1/18 of a
- second) for a packet to reach the network. The number
- of known networks is displayed at the end of the list.
-
- See also the display servers command.Display Servers
-
- Displays a list of all servers that the router is aware
- of. The list shows the server's name and the number of
- hops (networks that must be crossed) to reach the server.
- The number of known servers is displayed at the end of
- the list.
-
- See also the display networks command.
-
- Down
-
- Downs the server. Bringing down the server causes all
- connections to be logged out, all volumes to be
- dismounted and IPX routing services to be discontinued.
- If there are files in use by a workstation when the down
- command is issued, the server will print a warning on the
- console screen, and interactively prompt for confirmation
- before it goes down.
-
- See also the exit command.
-
- Echo Off
-
- Tells the server not to echo commands in .NCF files to
- the server console as they are executed. The default is
- not to echo.
-
- See also the echo on command.
-
- Echo On
-
- Tells the server to echo the commands in .NCF files as
- they are executed. The default is not to echo. Once the
- echo on command is executed then all .NCF file commands
- are echoed until an echo off command is executed.
-
- See also the echo off command.Enable Login
-
- Allows users to log into the server. This command cannot
- be used if the server is down.
-
- See also the disable login command.
-
- Enable TTS
-
- Turns on the TTS feature of NetWare. When volume SYS is
- mounted, TTS is automatically enabled if there is enough
- disk space and memory to allow transaction tracking. If
- TTS is ever disabled, you can enable it with the ENABLE
- TTS command. If a problem occurs that disables TTS
- automatically, you must fix the problem before you can
- enable TTS.
-
- See also the disable tts command.
-
- Exit
-
- Exits the server program and returns to DOS. The down
- command must be issued before the exit command. If the
- remove dos or secure console command has been used, the
- exit command cannot be used to return to DOS.
-
- See also the down, remove dos and secure console
- commands.
-
- IPX Internal Net
-
- Sets the network number that the router uses to identify
- all services/clients that reside in the same machine as
- the router. Internal IPX network numbers are a new
- feature of NetWare 386. The internal network number
- chosen should be a unique number not being used anywhere
- else on the network. This command can be used only in
- the AUTOEXEC.NCF file.
-
- See also the server name and bind commands.Load
-
- Tells the server to load a loadable object file.
-
- Specify a full path beginning with a DOS drive letter or
- a NetWare volume name. If no path is specified, and
- volume SYS has been mounted once, the operating system
- assumes that the loadable module is located in the
- SYS:SYSTEM directory. (The SEARCH command can be used
- to set up additional paths for automatic searching.)
-
- Specify a loadable module name from one of the four types
- of loadable modules: DISK drivers, LAN drivers, name
- space support, or .NLM utilities. The load command
- cannot be used after the server is down.
-
- See also the unload and modules commands.
-
- Modules
-
- Displays the name and description string of all the
- NetWare Loadable Modules that are currently loaded in the
- server.
-
- See also the load and unload commands.
-
- Mount
-
- Causes the specified volume or all volumes not already
- mounted that can be found to be mounted. If the bindery
- files are located on the volume to be mounted, the
- bindery is opened after the volume is mounted.
-
- This command cannot be used if the server is down.
-
- See also the dismount volume commands.
-
- Name
-
- Causes the server's name to be displayed.
-
- See also the server name command.Off
-
- Clears the server console screen.
-
- See also the cls command.
-
- Protocol
-
- Displays the protocol identification numbers registered
- with your server. These numbers are based on the
- server's communication protocol and media type. The
- protocol command is also used to register new protocol
- ID and media type numbers with the server.
-
- Remove DOS
-
- Causes memory being used by DOS to be given to the server
- cache. Once this command is issued, DOS is no longer
- resident in the machine and files located on DOS drives
- are no longer accessible. After the server is downed,
- the exit command will not be able to return to DOS; you
- must power off and back on to reboot.
-
- See also the exit and load commands.
-
- Reset Router
-
- Tells the router to erase all known servers and networks
- from its tables. The router then rebuilds these tables
- as new server and router advertising packets are
- received. This command cannot be used if the server is
- down.
-
- Search
-
- Indicates where the server should search for loadable
- module files and .NCF batch command files. The default
- search path is SYS:SYSTEM. You can add other search
- paths or delete current search paths. You can also use
- this command to display current search paths on the
- server.Secure Console
-
- Allows you to enable the following security measures on
- the server:
-
- 1)Restrict the loading of NLMs from every place but
- SYS:SYSTEM.
-
- 2)Restricts copying NLMs into SYS:SYSTEM to those who
- have security access to SYS:SYSTEM.
-
- 3)Prevents entry into the OS debugger.
-
- 4)Prevents anyone except the console operator from
- changing the date and time.
-
- 5)Removes DOS from the server.
-
- Send
-
- Enables you to send a message to all users logged in or
- attached to the server or to a list of users or
- connection numbers.
-
- See also the broadcast command.
-
- Server Name
-
- Sets the server name when the server comes up. This
- command can only be used in the AUTOEXEC.NCF file, it
- cannot be used at the server console command line.
-
- This command must be placed at the top of the
- AUTOEXEC.NCF file, before commands that require the
- server name be known. The server name chosen must be
- unique, not used by any other servers on the network.
-
- See also the IPX internal net and name commands.Set
-
- Displays and changes the server's configuration
- information. Many configuration parameters can be
- adjusted. Typing the set command without a configuration
- parameter name displays all of the configuration
- parameters. The display will show the configuration
- parameter name, its current setting, the limits that it
- can be set to, and a description of what the
- configuration parameter controls.
-
- The set command can be used in the STARTUP.NCF and
- AUTOEXEC.NCF files. Three configuration parameters can
- be set only in the STARTUP.NCF file; they cannot be set
- from the server console command line.
-
- ■ Minimum Packet Receive Buffers
- ■ Maximum Physical Receive Packet Size
- ■ Cache Buffer Size
-
- The use of the set command in the STARTUP.NCF file is
- restricted to the setting of these three parameters.
-
- See also the set time command.
-
- Set Time
-
- Sets the server date and time. This command accepts a
- variety of formats to set only the date, only the time,
- or both the date and time. It assumes that if the time
- is specified, it will have a colon separator between the
- hours and minutes. If "am" or "pm" is not specified then
- the server will assume the time was entered during
- working hours (7-12=am, 1-6=pm). The month can be
- entered as a number or name. If the month is entered as
- a number then it is assumed that it comes before the day
- or year number.
-
- See also the time and set commands.Speed
-
- Causes the server to display its CPU speed.
-
- Spool
-
- Allows you to create, change, or display spooler
- mappings. These mappings are needed to set up default
- print queues for NPRINT and CAPTURE. They also support
- applications that make calls to printer numbers rather
- than to queues.
-
- Time
-
- Displays the current server date and time.
-
- See also the set time command.
-
- Track Off
-
- Signals the router to stop displaying on the Router
- Tracking Screen the server and network advertising
- packets it receives or sends. It then closes the Router
- Tracking Screen.
-
- See also the track on command.
-
- Track On
-
- Creates a new Router Tracking Screen (if one did not
- already exist) and makes it the active screen. It also
- signals the router to display all server and network
- advertising packets it receives or sends.
-
- See also the track off command.Unbind
-
- Unbinds the specified protocol stack from a LAN board.
- The LAN board is specified by the LAN driver name if the
- driver is only servicing one board. If the LAN driver
- is servicing more than one board the optional parameters
- indicate the hardware settings of the board to be
- unbound. If either the LAN driver or the protocol stack
- are unloaded using the unload command, the protocol stack
- will automatically be unbound from the LAN board.
-
- See also the bind command.
-
- Unload
-
- Unloads a loadable module which was previously loaded
- with the load command.
-
- See also the load and modules commands.
-
- Version
-
- Displays the server's version information and copyright
- notice.
-
- Volumes
-
- This command displays a list of volumes on the server.
