Simple NCF question

[jdavis37]

How can I create a .ncf file to run a command?

would I just open edit test.ncf
**enter my run command**
save as test.ncf

thanks

Hi,

You would need a way of executing it. Either manually, throught another NCF like the Autoexec.ncf or with some other utility.

But, yes that is how you would create it.

Hi

You can add any Netware commands you like to the NCF.
I have seen people use an NCF to unload NLM's prior to a shutdown etc.ie Shutdown.ncf could look like this...

; This NCF file unload's NLM's before rebooting the System
:
Unload xyz.nlm
Restart Server

Hope this help

An NCF file in NetWare is just like a BAT file in DOS. It runs from the console prompt, and just goes line by line till it's done. Easy deal, piece of cake.

To run it you just type in the name of the NCF file at the server command prompt. As long as the NCF file is in the search path, it will run. Most people put custom NCF files into SYS:SYSTEM because they are generally for system tasks, like shutting down NLM's before rebooting (as mentioned above).
