.1 AT:1 [id] [/DELETE] time [/EVERY:date[,...] | /NEXT:date[,...]] command #1 AT schedules a program or command to be run at a later date or time on a server. When used without options, it displays a list of programs and commands scheduled to be run. The programs and commands are stored in the server's LANMAN\LOGS\SCHED.LOG file, so scheduled tasks are not lost if you restart the server.
If you change the system time after scheduling a command to run, the AT scheduler should be synchronized with the revised time by typing AT without options.
To get Help one screen at a time, type NET HELP command | MORE.$1 command Is the MS OS/2 or LAN Manager command or batch program (.CMD file) to be run. When the command requires a pathname, use the absolute pathname.
id Is an identification number assigned to a scheduled command. To see the identification number of a command, type AT without options.
time Is the time when command is to run. It is expressed as hours:minutes in 24-hour notation (00:00 [midnight] through 23:59).
/DELETE Cancels a scheduled command. If you omit the identification number, all scheduled commands on the server are canceled.
/EVERY:date[,...] Runs the command each time the specified day(s) of the week or month occurs. Date is one or more days of the week (M,T,W,Th,F,S,Su) or days of the month (1-31). If date is omitted, today's date is assumed.
/NEXT:date[,...] Runs the specified command only on the next occurrence of the day(s).
.1 BACKACC:1 [[drive:]pathname [/F:[drive:]target] [/A] [/S]]#1 BACKACC backs up permissions on the high-performance file system 386 volumes, the user accounts database (NET.ACC), and the audit log (NET.AUD) while LAN Manager is running. When used without options, BACKACC backs up the user accounts database and the audit log.
This command only works on servers.
See also RESTACC.
To get Help one screen at a time, type NET HELP command | MORE.$1 drive: Is the drive letter for the shared directory.
pathname Is the directory or file whose permissions are to be backed up. If you don't specify a pathname, only NET.ACC and NET.AUD are backed up.
/A Appends access permissions to the current .ACL file.
/F:target Is a target file to store the permissions. The default directory is the current working directory. If /F:target is not specified, the target is ACLBAKd.ACL, where d is the drive letter of the volume being backed up.
/S Is valid only if pathname is a directory. It backs up permissions for all subdirectories and files of pathname.
.1 CACHE:1 [/BUFFERIDLE:[drive:]time] [/LAZY:[drive:]{ON | OFF}] [/MAXAGE:[drive:]time] [/OPTIONS[drive:]] [/STATS: [CLEAR | DYNAMIC]]#1 CACHE establishes file system caching for a high-performance file system 386 volume. When used without options, it displays caching statistics. CACHE is placed in the operating system configuration file at installation.
To get Help one screen at a time, type NET HELP command | MORE.$1 /BUFFERIDLE:[drive:]time Sets the minimum number of milliseconds the buffer must be idle before its contents can be written to the disk. The range is 0-500000; the default is 500 milliseconds. A value between 100 and 1000 is suggested.
/LAZY:[drive:]{ON | OFF} Enables or disables lazy writes. If no drive is specified, the action applies to all high-performance file system 386 drives. If you specify /LAZY with no values, lazy writes are enabled for all High-Performance File System 386 partitions.
/MAXAGE:[drive:]time Sets the maximum number of milliseconds a dirty cache block can be in memory before its contents are written to memory. The range is 0-1000000; the default is 5000 milliseconds. A value between 1000 and 20000 is suggested.
/OPTIONS[drive:] Displays cache configuration options.
/STATS:[CLEAR | DYNAMIC] Displays cache statistics. Specifying /STATS with no value displays the current statistics. CLEAR clears the current statistics, resetting all values to 0. DYNAMIC causes the statistics display to remain on the screen and be updated approximately once per second. (If output has been redirected, DYNAMIC is ignored.)
.1 CHKSTOR:1 [\\computername | /DOMAIN[:name]] [name [...]] [/ALERTS:{YES | NO}]#1 CHKSTOR checks the storage remaining in home directories on a server. When used without options, it displays a report of used disk space for the local server. Only those users who are over their storage limit are included in the report.
For each home directory on the server that is over the storage limit, LAN Manager reports the username, disk space allowed, disk space used, and home directory's path.
This command only works on servers.
To get Help one screen at a time, type NET HELP command | MORE.$1 \\computername Is the server on which storage is to be checked.
name [...] Is a username(s) and/or groupname(s). Specifying a name limits storage checking to the user or members of the group. Separate names with spaces. If you supply both a username and a groupname for a group to which that user belongs, LAN Manager reports the use of that user's home directory only once.
/ALERTS:{YES | NO} If set to YES (the default), generates an alert for each user account that exceeds the storage limit. These alerts are sent to administrators listed in ALERTNAMES in the LANMAN.INI file's [server] section and to the user whose account has exceeded the storage limit. If /ALERTS is set to NO, alerts are not sent.
/DOMAIN[:name] Runs CHKSTOR on the servers in the domain specified by the domain entry in LANMAN.INI. To run the command on another domain, supply the name of that domain.
.1 ERRPOPUP:1 program [options]#1 ERRPOPUP runs a program and displays any error messages from the program in a popup window. Use ERRPOPUP with detached programs to detect errors that occur when running the program. A detached program is a program that is run from the CONFIG.SYS program RUN entries or started with the MS OS/2 DETACH command.
To get Help one screen at a time, type NET HELP command | MORE.$1 options Are one or more options passed to program.
program Is the name of a program (or executable file) to run. Supply the pathname for the program if the directory is not already listed with the MS OS/2 PATH command.
.1 FTADMIN:1 [\\computername] [/MONO]#1 FTADMIN starts the FTADMIN fault-tolerance utility. It is a full-screen MS OS/2 application that runs in a Presentation Manager window. When used without options, FTADMIN starts the fault-tolerance utility on the local computer.
To get Help one screen at a time, type NET HELP command | MORE.$1 \\computername Specifies the computer where the fault-tolerance utility is to be used.
/MONO May provide a clearer display on a monochrome screen. Type the command with and without /MONO and decide which display is best.
.1 FTMONIT:1 [/ALERT:{YES | NO}] [/COMPARE:{YES | NO}] [/QUIET:{YES | NO}] [/CLEAR:{YES | NO}]#1 FTMONIT starts the fault-tolerance utility's error-monitoring feature or clears statistics about error monitoring. When used without options, it displays statistics.
To get Help one screen at a time, type NET HELP command | MORE.$1 /ALERT:{YES | NO} Specifies whether to send disk error alerts to users listed in ALERTNAMES in the LANMAN.INI file's [server] section. The default is YES.
/CLEAR:{YES | NO} Set to YES, resets all statistics to zero. The default is NO.
/COMPARE:{YES | NO} Specifies whether to do a low-confidence comparison of mirrored drives when the computer starts. The default is YES.
/QUIET:{YES | NO} Specifies whether FTMONIT displays a status message whenever the server is restarted. YES suppresses the display. The default is NO.

To get Help one screen at a time, type NET HELP command | MORE.$1 There are no options for this utility.
.1 MAKEIMG:1 [drive:]filename[.def]#1 MAKEIMG packages all of the system programs that are on a floppy disk into an image file. The image file is used as a startup drive for MS-DOS workstations being booted by the Remoteboot service.
To get Help one screen at a time, type NET HELP command | MORE.$1 .def Is an extension for the definition filename. If an extension is not specified, .DEF is assumed.
drive: Is the drive letter where a disk formatted with the FORMAT /S command can be found. If the drive letter is omitted, drive A is assumed.
filename Is the name of the definition file to be used. The image file that is created has the same base filename, but with a .IMG extension.
.1 NAMES:1
The following types of names are used with LAN Manager:
Alias A name to which messages can be sent. Each workstation's computername and the username logged on at that workstation are added to its list of aliases. Use the NET NAME command to view a workstation's aliases or add new ones.
Computername A unique name that identifies a workstation or server on the local-area network.
Devicename The name by which LAN Manager identifies a disk resource, printer, or communication device. A disk resource is identified by a drive letter followed by a colon (for example, D:). A printer or communication device is identified by a port name followed by a colon (for example, LPT1: or COM1:).
Domain A group of servers and workstations on the network. A domain has a unique name. Usually, you must log on in a domain to gain access to the network. The domain you log on in is called the logon domain. If you don't specify a domain name at logon, you log on in a default domain. This is called the workstation domain.
Filename The name of a file. Under the file allocation table (FAT) file system, a filename can have as many as eight characters, followed by a period (.) and an extension of as many as three characters. Under the MS OS/2 1.2 high-performance file system (HPFS), a filename can have as many as 254 characters.
Network path A description of the location of a shared resource, consisting of a server's computername followed by the sharename of the resource. The computername is preceded by two backslashes, and the sharename is preceded by one backslash (for example, \\SERVER1\RESOURCE).
Path The location of a directory. A path can consist of a devicename and one or more directory names. A backslash (\) precedes each directory name (for example, C:\CUSTOMER\CORP\ACCT).
Pathname A path and a filename. The filename is preceded by a backslash (\) (for example, C:\CUSTOMER\CORP\REPORT.DOC).
Sharename A name that identifies a shared resource on a server. A sharename is used with the server's computername to form a network path (as in \\SERVER\RESOURCE).
Username The name a person supplies when logging on at a workstation.
To view these definitions one screen at a time, type NET HELP NAMES | MORE.#1$1 There are no options for this topic. This is a help topic about the different types of names LAN Manager uses. It is not a NET command..1 PORTACC:1 pathname #1 PORTACC converts a LAN Manager 1.x user accounts database to a LAN Manager 2.0 user accounts database.
This command only works on servers.
To get Help one screen at a time, type NET HELP command | MORE.$1 pathname Is the pathname of the LAN Manager 1.x NET.ACC file, saved before upgrading the LAN Manager software.
.1 PRIV:1 command [values]#1 PRIV ensures that a background process started by an administrator on a 386 server with local security remains privileged after the administrator logs off. A privileged process is a background process that has the equivalent of administrative privilege. A privileged process can access all files on the server for as long as it runs, no matter who logs on or off locally at the server.
This command only works on servers.
To get Help one screen at a time, type NET HELP command | MORE.$1 command Is a .EXE, .COM, or .CMD file in the current path, or an internal MS OS/2 command.
values Are options of the command being run.
.1 RESTACC:1 [drive:]pathname [[drive:]newname] [/F:[drive:]source] [/S]#1 RESTACC restores the permissions for high-performance file system 386 volumes, the user accounts database, and the audit file stored with BACKACC.
This command only works on servers.
See also BACKACC.
To get Help one screen at a time, type NET HELP command | MORE.$1 drive: Is an optional drive letter.
newname Is a new file to receive permissions from a file that was backed up with BACKACC. The existing permissions on newname (if any) are replaced with the restored permissions.
pathname Is the directory or file for which permission records are to be restored.
/F:source Is the source file used to restore permissions. If source is omitted, LAN Manager uses LANMAN\ACCOUNTS\ACLBAKd.ACL, where d is the drive letter of the volume being backed up.
/S Is used with pathname only. It restores permissions for all subdirectories of the specified directory.
.1 RPLDSABL:1 #1 RPLDSABL disables the Remoteboot service at a workstation that has a hard disk. Use RPLDSABL at a workstation that is no longer going to be started remotely. After running RPLDSABL, the workstation boots from its own hard disk instead of from a server running the Remoteboot service.
To get Help one screen at a time, type NET HELP command | MORE.$1 There are no options for this utility.
.1 RPLENABL:1 #1 RPLENABL enables the Remoteboot service at a workstation that has a hard disk. It configures the hard disk so that the workstation can be started from a server that is running the Remoteboot service. This does not prevent access to the hard disk after the workstation is booted remotely.
To get Help one screen at a time, type NET HELP command | MORE.$1 There are no options for this utility.
.1 SYNTAX:1
The following conventions are used to distinguish command syntax:
� Capital letters represent words that must be typed as shown. Lower- case letters represent names of items that may vary, such as filenames.
� The [ and ] characters surround optional items that can be supplied with the command.
� The { and } characters surround lists of items. You must supply one of the items with the command.
� The | character separates items in a list. Only one of the items can be supplied with the command.
For example, in the following syntax, you must type NET COMMAND and either OPTION1 or OPTION2. Supplying a name is optional. NET COMMAND [name] {OPTION1 | OPTION2}
� The [...] characters mean you can repeat the previous item. Separate items with spaces.
� The [,...] characters mean you can repeat the previous item, but you must separate items with commas or semicolons, not spaces.#1$1 There are no options for this topic. This topic is about how to read syntax lines. It is not a NET command.
.1 NET.2 ACCESS:2 [resource] resource [/ADD [name:permission[...]] | /DELETE] [/GRANT name:permission[...] | /CHANGE name:permission[...] | /REVOKE name [...]] [/TRAIL:{YES | NO}] [/FAILURE:{ALL | NONE}] [/FAILURE:{[OPEN];[WRITE];[DELETE];[ACL];[...]} [/SUCCESS:{ALL | NONE}] [/SUCCESS:{[OPEN];[WRITE];[DELETE];[ACL];[...]} [/TREE]#2 NET ACCESS creates, changes, and revokes permissions, and sets auditing for resources on servers with user-level security. When used without options, NET ACCESS lists the server's resources and their permissions.
Permissions assigned to a directory automatically become the permissions for files within it unless specific permissions are assigned. New permissions then override the original permissions.
NOTE: /TRAIL can't be used with /FAILURE or /SUCCESS.
To get Help one screen at a time, type NET HELP command | MORE.$2 directory Is the absolute pathname of a directory. /
name:permission[...] Identifies an existing username(s) or groupname(s) and one or more of the following permissions to be granted. Username permissions override groupname permissions. Separate multiple name:permissions entries with a space. An option followed by name:permission expects everything following the option to be a username or groupname and a set of permissions.
Type permissions for access to a disk resource without a delimiter (for example, RWC). Type \PRINT, \COMM, or \PIPE before the sharenames of these non- disk resources when assigning default permissions. For a \COMM resource, Y provides RWC permissions. For a \PIPE resource, Y provides RW permissions. For a \PRINT resource, Y provides C permission. Letter Permission ������ ����������������������������������������������������� A Change resource attributes. The attributes are R (read only), H (hidden), S (system), and A (archive). C Create files and directories in a shared directory. Users with this permission can change the file only while creating it. D Delete files and subdirectories within the shared directory, but not the shared directory. N (No) Denies access to a resource. P Change permissions for a directory or file. R Read, copy, and execute files, and change from one subdirectory to another within the shared directory. W Write to a file. X Execute a command or program. Only MS OS/2 computers recognize X permission. To allow a user with an MS-DOS workstation to run a program, grant that user R permission. NOTE: X permission isn't needed if R permission is assigned to the user for that directory or file. R permission includes all rights that X permission grants. Y (Yes) Gives default (RWCDA) access permissions to a resource.
resource Is a disk, directory (absolute path), file (absolute path), \PRINT (printer queue), \COMM (communication- device queue), or \PIPE (named pipe) for which permissions are to be assigned.
ACL Does an audit when permissions for a resource are changed. The audit records are only written if the Server service was started with /AUDITING:YES or an auditing event is listed.
ALL Determines an audit for all accesses to a resource.
DELETE Determines an audit when a shared file is deleted.
NONE Determines no audit for access to a resource.
OPEN Determines an audit when shared files are opened.
WRITE Determines an audit when a file is deleted.
/ADD Adds a sharename and, optionally, one or more user's or group's permissions to use the resource. You can name a resource and define permissions for it before sharing it.
/CHANGE Changes one or more user's or group's permissions for a resource.
/DELETE Removes all permissions for a resource from the accounts database.
/FAILURE Audits failed accesses to resources as determined by the values ALL, NONE, OPEN, WRITE, DELETE, and ACL. /FAILURE also expands the resource display. /FAILURE and /SUCCESS can be on the same command line, but do not use /FAILURE with /TRAIL.
/GRANT Adds one or more user's or group's permissions for a resource. Separate multiple name:permission entries with a space.
/REVOKE name [...] Revokes permissions for one or more users or groups to use a resource.
/SUCCESS Audits successful accesses to resources as determined by the values ALL, NONE, OPEN, WRITE, DELETE, and ACL. /SUCCESS and /FAILURE can be on the same command line, but do not use /SUCCESS with /TRAIL.
/TRAIL:{YES | NO} Turns the audit trail on or off for a particular resource. The default is NO. Do not use /TRAIL with /FAILURE or /SUCCESS.
/TREE Reports permissions for a directory and all of its subdirectories. If there are too many permissions to list, specify a subdirectory (for example, NET ACCESS subdirectory /TREE). The /TREE option also lists permissions for \PRINT, \COMM, and \PIPE resources.
.2 ACCOUNTS:2 [/ROLE:{BACKUP | MEMBER | PRIMARY | STANDALONE}] [/FORCELOGOFF:{minutes | NO}] [/MINPWLEN:length] [/MAXPWAGE:{days | UNLIMITED}] [/MINPWAGE:days] [/UNIQUEPW:number]#2 NET ACCOUNTS sets a server's role in the domain, and modifies password and logon requirements for all accounts. This information is stored in the LANMAN\ACCOUNTS\NET.ACC file, along with user accounts and resource permissions. When used without options, NET ACCOUNTS displays the current settings for password and logon limitations and the role of a server.
Several conditions are required for options used with NET ACCOUNTS to take effect:
� The server must have user-level security.
� The password and logon requirements are only effective if user accounts have been set up (use the NET USER command).
� The Netlogon service must be running on all servers in the domain that verify logon.
� All workstations and servers that log on in the domain must have the same domain entry in the LANMAN.INI file.
To get Help one screen at a time, type NET HELP command | MORE.$2 /FORCELOGOFF:{minutes | NO} Sets the number of minutes a user has before being forced to log off when the account expires or valid logon hours expire. NO, the default, prevents forced logoff.
/MAXPWAGE:{days | UNLIMITED} Sets the maximum number of days that a password is valid. No limit is specified with UNLIMITED. /MAXPWAGE can't be less than /MINPWAGE. The range is 1-49710; the default is 90 days.
/MINPWAGE:days Sets the minimum number of days that must pass before a user can change a password. A value of 0 sets no minimum time. The range is 0-49710; the default is 0 days. /MINPWAGE can't be more than /MAXPWAGE.
/MINPWLEN:length Sets the minimum number of characters for a password. The range is 0-14 characters; the default is 6 characters.
/ROLE:{BACKUP | MEMBER | PRIMARY | STANDALONE} Determines how the servers in a domain participate in logon security. Four roles are provided; the default is STANDALONE.
Role Description ������� ������������������������������������������ BACKUP Specifies that the server can verify logon requests by maintaining a copy of the domain's user accounts database. A domain can have more than one backup server.
MEMBER Specifies that the server can neither update the user accounts database nor verify logon requests, but maintains a copy of the domain's user accounts database. A domain can have more than one member server.
PRIMARY Specifies that the server creates and maintains the user accounts database. This server is the default server for verifying logon requests.
STANDALONE Specifies a server with user-level security that maintains its own user accounts database and does not participate in domain logon.
/UNIQUEPW:number Requires that a user's passwords be unique through the specified number of password changes. The maximum value is 8.
.2 ADMIN:2 [/MONO] \\computername [password | *] [/MONO] \\computername [password | *] /COMMAND [command]#2 The NET ADMIN command is used three ways:
� To start the administrator's version of the LAN Manager Screen on the local server (when used without options).
� To start the LAN Manager Screen on a local server or workstation to manage a remote server. You must have administrative privilege.
� To run a command or start a command processor from the local server to manage a remote server.
To get Help one screen at a time, type NET HELP command | MORE.$2 command Is the network or operating system command to be run.
\\computername Specifies a remote server.
password | * Is the administrator's password for the specified server. This can be different from the administrator's logon password. An asterisk (*) produces a prompt for the password. The password will not be displayed when you type it.
/COMMAND Runs a single noninteractive command or starts a secondary command processor (similar to MS OS/2 CMD.EXE) on a remote server. To start a secondary command processor, press ENTER immediately after /COMMAND. Type the command; then, to return to the local server, type EXIT or press CTRL+Z.
/MONO May provide a clearer display on a monochrome screen. Type the command with and without /MONO and decide which display is best.
.2 AUDIT:2 [/COUNT:number] [/REVERSE] /DELETE#2 NET AUDIT displays or clears entries in a server's audit trail. When used without options, it displays all entries in the server's audit trail. The display includes the username of a person who used a resource, the type of resource, the date and time of its use, and the amount of time it was used.
This command only works on servers.
To get Help one screen at a time, type NET HELP command | MORE.$2 /COUNT:number Displays the specified number of entries from the beginning of the audit trail.
/DELETE Clears the server's audit trail.
/REVERSE Displays entries in reverse order (newest to oldest). When used with /COUNT:number, it displays the specified number of entries in reverse order.

For a server: NET PRINT [job# [/HOLD | /RELEASE | /FIRST | /LAST | /DELETE]] sharename [/HOLD | /RELEASE | /DELETE | /PURGE] NET PRINT sharename also has these options: [/PRIORITY:number] [/SEPARATOR:pathname] [/ROUTE:devicename[,...]] [/PROCESSOR:pmname] [/AFTER:time] [/REMARK:"text"] [/UNTIL:time] [/OPTIONS] [/DRIVER:filename]#2 NET PRINT displays or controls single print jobs and printer queues, displays or controls the shared queue, and sets or modifies options for the printer queue. When used without options, it displays information about printer queues on the server or workstation. For each queue, the display lists jobs, showing the size and status of each job, and the status of the queue.
To get Help one screen at a time, type NET HELP command | MORE.$2 \\computername Is the name of the server sharing the printer queue(s).
devicename Is the name of the device at your computer assigned to the queue. LPT1: through LPT9: are available.
job# Is the identification number assigned to a print job. A server with one or more printer queues assigns each print job a unique number.
sharename Is the name of the shared printer queue. For a workstation, when including the sharename with the computername, use a backslash (\) to separate the names.
/AFTER:time Prints jobs from the queue after time (for 24-hour time, use the format hh:mm; for 12-hour time, use the format hh:mmAM or hh:mmPM).
/DELETE With a job number, removes the job from a queue. With a sharename, removes a queue.
/DRIVER:filename Is the default print-driver file.
/FIRST Moves a job to the first position in the queue.
/HOLD When used with a job number, prevents a job in the queue from printing. The job stays in the printer queue, and other jobs bypass it until it is released. When used with a sharename, the printer queue stops printing until released.
/LAST Moves a job to the last position in the queue.
/OPTIONS Displays the options assigned to the shared printer queue.
/PRIORITY:number Sets the queue's priority (1 is the highest and 9 the lowest). If a printer is receiving jobs from more than one queue, it prints jobs from the queue with highest priority first.
/PROCESSOR:pmname Specifies a print processor file. The MS OS/2 Print Manager (spooler) maintains the path to this file. Specify only the filename.
/PURGE Removes all jobs except the current job from the queue.
/RELEASE Reactivates a job or printer queue that is held.
/REMARK:"text" Is a descriptive comment about the shared queue.
/ROUTE:devicename[,...] Routes the queue's print jobs to one or more local or remote printers. If print jobs are routed to a remote printer, the remote printer must be shared as a (unspooled) communication-device queue.
/SEPARATOR:pathname Instructs the printers in the queue to use the separator page in the file specified by pathname. LAN Manager provides a default separator page file, DEFAULT.SEP. To use the default page, you must supply this filename. The LANMAN\SPOOL directory is assumed.
/UNTIL:time Prints jobs from the queue until time (for 24-hour time, use the format hh:mm; for 12-hour time, use the format hh:mmAM or hh:mmPM).
.2 RUN:2 command #2 NET RUN runs a program or command on a server.
To get Help one screen at a time, type NET HELP command | MORE.$2 command Is the name of the program you want to run. The program is a .EXE file. You don't need to supply the filename extension..2 SAVE:2 [[drive:path]filename]
#2 NET SAVE creates a profile, which is a file that contains the current connections. When the profile is loaded with NET LOAD, the connections are automatically restored.
A profile for a workstation contains a set of NET USE commands. It functions like a batch file but is formatted differently. When used without options, on a workstation NET SAVE saves the profile commands in NETLOGON.PRO.
A profile for a server stores NET USE, NET SHARE, NET PRINT, and NET COMM commands. Save commands each time a new resource is shared to ensure that the resource configuration will not be lost if the server is stopped. When used without options, on a server NET SAVE saves the profile commands in SRVAUTO.PRO.
To get Help one screen at a time, type NET HELP command | MORE.$2
drive:path Tells where the profile is stored. Without a drive letter and path, LAN Manager stores the profile in the LANMAN\PROFILES directory.
filename Is the name of the profile. The default name for a workstation profile is NETLOGON.PRO. The default name for a server profile is SRVAUTO.PRO. If a filename is typed without an extension, a .PRO extension is added.
.2 SEND:2 For a workstation: NET SEND {alias | /DOMAIN[:name] | * | /BROADCAST} message
For a server: NET SEND /USERS message {alias | /DOMAIN[:name] | * | /BROADCAST} message#2 NET SEND sends messages or short files to other computers or users on the network.
You can only send a message to an alias that is active on the network. If the message is sent to a username, that user must be logged on and running the Messenger service to receive the message.
The size of the message is limited by the SIZMESSBUF entry in the LANMAN.INI file, which can be changed to accommodate messages as large as 62 kilobytes.
To get Help one screen at a time, type NET HELP command | MORE.$2 alias Is the username, computername, or other name to send the message to.
message Is text to be sent as a message or the filename of a text file to be sent (preceded by <).

/BROADCAST Sends the message to all aliases on the network. Broadcast messages can have as many as 128 characters, and should be broadcast with discretion.
/DOMAIN[:name] Sends the message to all aliases in the domain specified by the domain entry in LANMAN.INI. To send a message to all aliases in another domain, supply the name of that domain.
/USERS Sends the message to all users currently connected to one of the server's resources.
.2 SEPARATOR:2 {sharename | devicename} {pathname | /DELETE}#2 NET SEPARATOR prints or cancels a separator page before each print job in a printer queue or on a printer. LAN Manager provides a separator page that reports the following information:
� The name of the workstation or server from which the job was sent
� The name of the file being printed
� The date and time the file was printed
NET SEPARATOR and the /SEPARATOR option for NET PRINT perform the same function. Use NET PRINT /SEPARATOR to assign a separator file for a printer queue if you are configuring the queue.
This command only works on servers.
To get Help one screen at a time, type NET HELP command | MORE.$2 devicename Is the name of a device assigned to a printer queue that is to use a separator page. All printers using the queue will use the separator page.

drive:path Is the directory for the shared resource.
password Is a confidential word that protects a resource on a server.
sharename Is the name of the resource being shared. To see information about the shared resource, type NET SHARE sharename.
ADMIN$ Is an administrative resource that allows remote administration on the server. Servers with user-level security share ADMIN$ automatically. On servers with share-level security, ADMIN$ should be shared. For greater security, assign a password to ADMIN$ on a server with share-level security.
IPC$ Enables a user to use named pipes and distributed applications on the server. Named pipes are essential for communication between programs. The Netrun service requires that IPC$ be shared. IPC$ is automatically shared on a server with user-level security. With share-level security, you must explicitly share IPC$. Assign IPC$ a password only if the server won't be configured for remote administration.
/COMM Identifies the resource as a communication- device queue.
/DELETE Stops sharing the resource.
/PERMISSIONS:permissions Assigns permissions to a shared resource on a server with share-level security. The following permissions are available:
Letter Permission ������ ���������������������������������������������� A Change resource attributes. The attributes are R (read only), H (hidden), S (system), and A (archive). C Create files and directories in a shared directory. Users with this permission can only change the file while creating it. D Delete resources. P Change permissions for a directory or a file. R Read, copy, and execute files, and change from one subdirectory to another within the shared directory. W Write to a file. X Execute a command or program. Only MS OS/2 computers recognize X permission. A user with an MS-DOS workstation cannot run a file that has X permission but doesn't have R permission.
/PRINT Identifies the shared resource as a printer queue.
/REMARK:"text" Is a comment about the shared resource.
/UNLIMITED Specifies that any number of users can use a shared resource simultaneously. At a workstation running the Peer service, use this option only for IPC$.
/USERS:number Sets the maximum number of users who can simultaneously access a shared resource. A LAN Manager server is limited to five users unless you have increased the maximum number of users by applying Additional User Paks. For a workstation running the Peer service, this entry cannot be more than two (the user at the workstation and one other user).
.2 START.3 ALERTER:3 [/SIZALERTBUF:bytes]#3 NET START ALERTER starts the LAN Manager Alerter service on a server.

/REPLICATE:{EXPORT | IMPORT | BOTH} Determines whether the server exports files and directories, imports files and directories, or both. EXPORT is the server that maintains a master tree to be replicated. The Replicator service checks these directories and files for changes and notifies servers that import the files or directories. If EXPORT is not used, the Replicator service does not monitor the specified tree for changes. IMPORT is the computer to receive update notices from the export server. If /REPLICATE is specified without options, IMPORT is assumed. BOTH specifies that a server is to export and import directories or files.
/TRYUSER:{YES | NO} Determines whether the Replicator service attempts to update files to an import computer if a user is logged on to the network. If the value is YES, the username and password must be valid. If NO, the Replicator service only updates when the user is logged off, using the /LOGON and /PASSWORD options to supply the logon information.
.3 PEER:3 [options]#3 NET START PEER starts the LAN Manager Peer service, which lets you share directories, a printer queue, and a communication-device queue with one other network user at a time. When used without options, it starts the service using the values specified in the LANMAN.INI file's [server] section. An option typed from the command line overrides the value in the LANMAN.INI file until the service is stopped.
When the Peer service is running, your workstation functions as a server with limited server capabilities.

When used without options, NET START UPS starts the service using the default values specified in the LANMAN.INI file's [ups] section. An option typed from the command line overrides the value in the LANMAN.INI file until the service is stopped.
During a power failure, the UPS service provides for an orderly shutdown of a server. The UPS service pauses the Server service and waits for an interval of time. If the main power is not restored, users are instructed to disconnect from the server (if they have power). Then the UPS service stops all LAN Manager services and writes all data in cache memory to permanent storage.
This command only works on servers.

This is a 3-digit value: � The first digit is 1 (the default) if the battery can signal the UPS service upon power failure, or 0 if it cannot. � The second digit is 0 (the default) if the battery does not signal the UPS service about low power, and 1 if it signals when a specified amount, such as 2 minutes worth, of power remains. � The third digit is 1 if the battery accepts a shutdown signal from the UPS service, and 0 (the default) if it does not. If the third digit is 1, the UPS service does an orderly shutdown of the LAN Manager software, and then the battery stops providing backup power to the computer. When the battery detects power restoration, it restarts the computer.
/VOLTLEVELS:### Specifies the voltage levels for the signals listed in the /SIGNALS entry. This is a 3-digit value: � The first digit is 0 if the battery uses a negative voltage to signal the UPS service of a power failure, and 1 (the default) if it uses a positive voltage. � The second digit is 0 (the default) if the battery uses a negative voltage to signal the UPS service that it has less than 2 minutes of power remaining, and 1 if it uses a positive voltage. � The third digit is 0 (the default) if the battery recognizes a negative voltage as the shutoff signal, or 1 if it recognizes a positive voltage as the shutoff signal.

The keyword NET specifies LAN Manager commands. When used without options, NET starts the LAN Manager Screen for users.$1 /MONO May present a clearer display on a monochrome screen. Type the command with and without /MONO and decide which display is best.:0#0/* This is how this file works. NET HELP looks for a match between the command specified at run time and one of the entries in this file. For each entry in this file there can be associated with it a subentry, which constitutes an option for that command (or sub-command). HELP (NET HELP) first searches for a match at level 1. If it finds a match at this level it continues searching for a sub-level (if one was specified at run time). As HELP finds matches it displays them , by doing so it builds the command in it's proper syntax. If no sub commands were entered at run time HELP stops and displays the help associated with that level.
SOME RULES: Operators are the funny 2 character symbols that start every line - they are the characters !, %, ., :, and # followed by a alphanumeric character.
Every operator must start in column 1.
Every operator must be separated from the info that follows it by at least one space.
The end of every line must contain a newline. (Trailing spaces will causes matches to fail on ".X" entries.)
Every ".1" entry MUST have a corresponding "#1" entry.

COMMENTS are delimited by a "/*" at the beginning of a line (must start in column 1) indicating the beginning of the comment section. A "*/" at the beginning of a line marks the end of the comment sec- tion. Only two comment section are allowed, one at the very be- ginning of the file and one at the very end. It is recommended that the comment section at the beginning of the file be kept very small to minimize access time to "help data" by the help command.
ALIASES are defined by a "%A" beginning in column 1. Aliases allow you to define another name for a given command. For example if you wish to change the name of the "ALERTER" to "WATCHDOG" you could do so by entering the line,
%A ALERTER: WATCHDOG
starting at column 1. If there are additional Aliases they should be specified on the same line separated by commas. This tells the help command that if someone types "net help watchdog" they really mean "net help alerter." Trailing spaces are significant (for this release) in alias names. Beware!
COMMANDS are additional commands that you want NET HELP to document. They are defined by placing !C operator (yes starting in column 1) followed by the command name on a separate line. An example of this is the AT commands. This is not really NET commands but you can get help on it through NET by entering it with the COMMANDS section in this file. For example if you want to get help on your PHONE command that you wrote and the only help utility you have is the NET HELP utility. To add phone to this utility you must place the following line in the Commands section of this file,
!C PHONE
starting in column 1. Now all that remains is to add the PHONE help data to the DATA section of this file. (See DATA below) (YES, you can assign aliases to commands that you declare in this section. But you must assign the aliases in the alias section first.)
DATA is the actual text that gets printed when you request help. The format for the data section is set up in a way such that the NET HELP command picks up information about a command as it reads through this file. The format of the data section is as follows;
The Command Name (this is the proper name used to reference a specific command - any other name used to access this command should be entered in the alias list above) should be preceded by a ".1". This defines that this Command Name would normally be the first thing typed when entering the command. An example of a ".1" Command Name would be NET. When HELP finds this entry, it knows what follows pertains to the NET command. What follows this ".1" entry can be one of 2 possible fields. The syntax operator ":1" or a sub option operator ".2".
Another option of the NET command could follow. If, as it does, the NET command has many options that can be specified, they should be enumerated on separate lines. Each level of help for a specific command constitutes a higher "dot number". I think an example would make this clearer. Lets look at a help entry for the NET START command. The NET START command has additional options. NET START [SERVER WORKSTATION ALERTER ...etc]. In this example NET is the ".1" entry, START is a ".2" entry and SERVER, WKSTA, and ALERTER are all ".3" entries.
.1 NET .2 START .3 SERVER .3 ALERTER .3 WORKSTATION
In the example above I indented each level, this helps you visualize what's going on and is legal to do as long as the .X starts in column 1.
This is all fine and well but what about the help for NET START SERVER. As stated before HELP allows two levels of assistance , Syntax and Help. You may choose to have the help be the same for all NET START options but obviously want different syntax displayed for each option. In order to do this you must place the help for any option (or sub-option) in the file prior to the help for the actual command. Sticking with our original example, lets assume that the SERVER and the WORKSTATION have enough in common that they want to share the same help message, but the alerter has some different information. We can accomplish this by specifying syntax, but no help for the SERVER and WORKSTATION options and specifying both for the ALERTER.
.1 NET .2 START .3 SERVER(Syntax) :3 /Security /Autodisconnect ...etc .3 ALERTER(Syntax) :3(Help) #3 The alerter is the service that bla bla bla...etc .3 WORKSTATION
(Syntax) :3 /Computername /Chartime ...etc(Syntax) :2(Help) #2 This is the help for NET START bla ... etc
In the example above you will note a couple of things. First, I introduced two new operators ":" and "#". As indicated by the parentheses the ":" operator defines syntax data and "#" defines help data. Secondly, you may have noticed there were no syntax entries for the NET START ALERTER or NET START. In the case of NET START ALERTER, there may be no more syntax to be specified, since HELP generates the syntax as it reads the entries. In the case of NET START, leaving the syntax field blank, tells HELP to generate an option lists for the START command from the .3 entries found contained in the START section. If however, syntax information would have been placed there, HELP would have displayed the supplied information.
This behavior can be expanded to 8 levels of sub-options. All level 1 (".1") entries must have a help ("#1") entry. The end of the data section must be marked by the following lines,
:0 #0
beginning in column 1. There can be no more than 512 characters in the option field including the spaces between the options and the brackets. White space following the ".X" operators is ignored, white space following the ":X" and "#X" operators is printed exactly as entered. If data is entered on the next line following the syntax or help operators it is printed as entered, except that the first three columns are always ignored.
