PROTECT
Purpose
Use at the server console to load NLM
TM
programs into a protected address
space when the commands to load the NLM programs are in a .ncf file.
Specify the .ncf file as a parameter to the command.
Syntax
PROTECT filename
Using PROTECT
Use this command when you normally use a .NCF file to load multiple
modules at once, and you want the modules to be loaded into the same
protected address space.
The command creates a protected address space with the same name as the
.ncf file and executes the .ncf file to load all the modules into the space.
For example,
protect grpwise
creates a protected address space called grpwise and reads GRPWISE.NCF to
load modules into the protected space.
IMPORTANT: Remember that not all modules can run in a protected address
space. Some modules, such as LAN and disk drivers, MONITOR, and server.exe,
must run in the kernel address space. For more information, see Modules Not
Allowed in Protected Address Spaces.
PROTECTION
Purpose
Use at the server console to display a list of protected address spaces or to add
or remove restart functionality from an existing address space.
Restart functionality means that if the protected address space faults, the
memory management system automatically closes the space, cleans up its
resources, restarts the space, and reloads modules into it.
