Command Line Options
At the DOS prompt, NM is started by typing ‘NM’. However there are some
parameters that can added to the command which tell NM the name of the
file to download to the network and also tell NM how to behave. The
following is the format of NM’s command line parameters:
C:\ > NM filename switches
where filename is the name of a file to be downloaded to the network, and
switches refers to the following:
/W : Don’t wait for all terminals to come online
/I
: Enter interactive mode after initialization
/Q : Use Request/Response protocol
/P : Pause if all workstations don’t come online
/R : Issue a reset network command immediately
/T : Set the time on all stations
/E : Echo all network input to the status line
/A : Treat this as a possible alternate master
/M : Minimal output during command execution
/X : Exit immediately after downloading data from network
To specify the opposite of one of the above flags simply put a <–>, a dash,
between the </> and the flag character.
For example:
NM xyzfile.lxe /R/T Downloads file xyzfile.lxe to all workstations after
resetting the network and setting the time on all
workstations.
NM /X Gathers any data pending from the network and then
NM terminates.
NM Normal program operation.
RETRIEVING DATA
This section is intended for those individuals who only wish to retrieve the
data that has been collected by the network and then be able to know where
that data went.
