Administering Advanced Server at the Command Prompt
9.2.1.9 Typing Path Names at Client Computers
Client computer operating systems, such as Windows 95/98, Windows NT, MS-DOS, and
OS/2 use back slashes to separate names in paths. For example:
net use f: \\product\data
9.2.2 Understanding Command Syntax
The commands that are used in Advanced Server will be easier to understand and use if
you keep the following concepts in mind:
When an option is enclosed in braces ( { } ), the option is a required item in the syntax
statement. For example, {yes | no} indicates that you must specify yes or no when using
the command.
When an option is enclosed in brackets ( [ ] ), it is an optional item in the syntax
statement. For example, [password] indicates that a password may be used with the
command, if desired.
When a vertical bar ( | ) separates items within braces or brackets, only one of the
options must be used. For example, {/hold | /release | /delete} indicates that only one
of the three options must be used.
When an ellipsis (
previous item(s). For example, /route: devicename [, ...] indicates that you can specify
more than one device, putting a comma between the device names.
Be sure to type slashes ( / ), back slashes ( \ ), commas ( , ), double quotes ( " " ), equal
signs ( = ), colons ( : ), semicolons ( ; ), and asterisks ( * ) as they are shown.
Replace the pound sign ( # ) with a number.
At the UNIX system command prompt, you must type Net commands in lower-case
