Console Server Commands
155
Renames any directory or queue in the database. You must become superuser, take the
system offline, and log out all users before using rename.When you use this command, the
system must be named and offline.
For instance, to rename the People directory to PEOPLE.STAFF, type:
rename people people.staff
The command creates any new directory levels that are necessary.
reorder
reorder <parent> <child> <position>
This allows you to change the order of a directory by putting one of the child entries into a
new position in the directory. Reordering is only done for Sequential directories.
The <position> parameter can be:
-a <sibling> (place <child> after <sibling>)
-b <sibling> (place <child> before <sibling>)
-<number> (move <child> up <number> positions)
+<number> (move <child> down <number> positions)
<number> (place <child> at <number> position)
The <child> and <sibling> parameters do not include the full pathname; only the last level
name relative to the parent name.
restart
restart [-v] <device> | all
c
If you restart a device when a user is editing, data could be lost.
Restarts one or more devices. The restart command stops and reloads the currently executing
program(s).
To restart a device, type restart followed by the device number. For instance, to restart txnet
41, type:
restart 41
After each restart, you see a Hot-to-go message for each device as it starts. If the device does
not start, you see a message indicating that the restart of that device has failed.
