Using Server Utilities and Console Commands
This section explains how to access help for server utilities and console
commands, discusses types of NLM programs, and provides instructions for
loading and unloading an NLM at the System Console.
Server utilities are NetWare Loadable Modules (NLM) programs. Some NLM
programs are loaded whenever you start the server, some are loaded by other
NLM programs when they are needed, and some must be loaded manually.
Server console commands are executed by entering the command at the
System Console prompt.
When you enter a command at the System Console prompt, the command is
stored in the command queue. To repeat a command, press the Up-arrow key
until the desired command is displayed. You can make changes to the
command or press Enter to execute the command. Up to 16 commands can be
saved in the queue.
You can also use the RECORD and REPLAY commands to enter commands
that you enter frequently at the System Console.
