Brief Documentation to finger.exe (program 2 of SDUTILS.ZIP 11/7/91)
FINGER allows a user to locate the server on which an object exists.
Syntax: FINGER [<option switch>] [[<server name>/]<object name>]
optional switches:
-t shows all intermediate steps as finger scans the network,
connects and disconnects from servers, and translation of
object name to a bindery ID.
-f finger mode: locates specified username (default).
-g group mode: locates specified group.
-q queue mode: locates specified queue.
<none> : default, silently locates account.
optional parameter:
<server name> overrides the scan, only looks at the nominated
server.
<object name> if not used the username defaults to STUDENT.
Examples:
FINGER find server with STUDENT account.
FINGER -T STEVED find server with STEVED account,
giving output of search progress.
FINGER CCS1/STEVED confirm STEVED is registered on CCS1
FINGER/Q WORKQUEUE find all servers with the queue WORKQUEUE
Limitations:
Finger will only scan the first 500 servers.
