Configuration for a Single
Command
With some DNSCOM commands, you can specify nodes other than the current
system. The INFO, LIST, STATUS, and STOP commands allow you to specify a
system or manager name, other than the current system or manager. This is done by
using the AT phrase. For example, the following command is processed on the
\MADRID system instead of the current system:
INFO * IN SPAIN AT \MADRID, EXPLODE
In addition, the ALTER, COPY, DELETE, and RESTORE commands allow operations
to be directed to a name manager other than the one currently open. The following
command is processed by the \NEWYORK system:
RESTORE MEMBERS * ON \MEMPHIS IN KNOXVILLE AT \NEWYORK
