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.
