This chapter describes how you can use Advanced Server commands and the Net command to administer Advanced Server at the UNIX system console. It contains the following information:
Advanced Server Commands — describes the UNIX system commands that you can use to administer Advanced Server at the command prompt. (Most Advanced Server commands are installed in the /var/opt/lanman/bin directory. Exceptions are euctosjis, lmshell, sjistoeuc, and ud, which are installed in the /usr/bin directory, and makeclients, which is installed with the MSCLIENT share)
Net Command — lists the Net commands that are available to administer Advanced Server at the command prompt.
You can use UNIX system commands at the Advanced Server command prompt to perform several administrative tasks.
The following table lists the UNIX system commands that administrators can use with Advanced Server. Complete descriptions of each command can be found by typing the following at the Advanced Server command prompt:
man name of command
The description will list the purpose and syntax of the command and provide comments and examples.

The following sections summarize the Net commands that are available in Advanced Server and describes syntax and usage conventions:
