Console Server Commands
117
connect
connect <name> [<option>=<value>] …
The connect command names each server in the system, and tells each how many other
servers there are in the system and how to communicate with them. For instance:
NRCS-A$ connect a net=ab
n
The connect command reads the /site/system file for options. If an option is specified on the
command line and also in the /site/system file, the command line setting takes precedence.
ctraits
ctraits <system name> [<option> <value>]...[+flag]...[-flag]...
The ctraits command adds systems to a Community and defines the order in which a local
system will contact a remote system’s server in the Community, as well as membership,
messaging and connections.
