NSMAN Utility
Use the NSMAN utility to control the operation of a configured NameServer. The utility allows you to start a NameServer, query its status, and shut down a NameServer.
SYNTAX
PARAMETERS
-name
name-serverThis parameter is required. It specifies the name of the NameServer.
-kill
Stops and removes the NameServer from memory, no matter what it is doing.
-start
Starts the NameServer.
-stop
Tells the NameServer to stop itself.
-query
Queries the NameServer for its status.
-host
host-nameSpecifies the name of the machine where the AdminServer is running. If a host name is not specified, it defaults to the local host name.
-user
user-nameSpecifies a user name and prompts for a password. A user name and password are required only when you use the
-host
parameter and specify a remote host name. If you specify a remote host name with the-host
parameter, but do not specify a user name with the-user
parameter, you receive a prompt for a username and password.
-port
port-numberSpecifies the port number of the machine where the AdminServer is running. If a port number is not specified, it defaults to 20931.
-help
Displays command-line help.
NOTE
Table C–3 shows several examples that use the NSMAN command. Assume the NameServer is
NS1
; the user name istom
; and the AdminServer is on the remote hostfinance
on the port9999
.
Table C–3: NSMAN Command Examples Task Commands Start a local NameServer. Start a remote NameServer.1 Query a local NameServer. Query a remote NameServer.1 Stop a local NameServer. Stop a remote NameServer.1
NOTES
- A single NameServer can simultaneously support all of the AppServer, WebSpeed, and DataServer products.
- When you specify a user name with the
-user
parameter, Windows NT supports three different formats:
- A user name as a simple text string, such as “
mary
,” implies a local user whose user account is defined on the local NT server machine, which is the same machine that runs the AdminServer.- A user name as an explicit local user name, in which the user account is defined on the same machine that runs the AdminServer except the user name explicitly references the local machine domain, for example “
.\mary
”.- A user name as a user account on a specific NT domain. The general format is Domain\User, in which the User is a valid user account defined within the domain and the
Domain is any valid NT Server, including the one where the AdminServer is running.
