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.
