NetWare 5: At Your Command 11 language. And the only correct GUI in the first paragraph is the XWindows GUI, discussed in the previous section. That's it. Nothing fancy; nothing more. Now with the tips: • To launch ConsoleOne, use C1Start.NCF. Both ConsoleOne and XWindows will be launched. • To display specific information about hardware components and specific drivers-such as, slot number and hardware instance number-place your mouse over a driver's name when in NetWare 5's graphical installation. Then click. Using RCONSOLE with NetWare 5 The DOS-based RCONSOLE command lets you remotely access a server. What you see on your RCONSOLE screen is what you'd see on the remote server's screen if you were actually sitting in front of it. However, due to the nature of the interface, a GUI is unavailable to remote sessions. That means no pictures or mouse movements. RCONSOLE is limited to text. If you try to use (+) or (-) to cycle through remote windows, the GUI will not appear, even if it is active on the server. For easy console access, just add the following to the end of your AUTOEXEC.NCF: • REMOTE somepassword • RSPX Now you'll always have access to the console-without any extra work. Just load RCONSOLE.EXE from SYS:PUBLIC (usually on the Z:drive); select SPX; and pick a server. Need an encrypted password? Easy. Just enter REMOTE. Then type REMOTE ENCRYPT yourpassword. You'll then see the command syntax to use for adding your encrypted password to the AUTOEXEC file. At the prompt, type YES, which writes the information to LDREMOTE.NCF. IMPORTANT: Don't use the REMOTE command to change your current password. If you have used INETCFG to set your remote password, you must use the same command to change your password. Using Java Applications with NetWare 5 NetWare 5 and its compatibility with Java, an Internet-standard, programming language, demonstrates Novell's direction in the Internet world. Here are two tips to help you work better with Java applications. • To force a Java application to launch in a new window, enter JAVA -NS. Any JAVA programs launched will then appear as separate entries in the Task Manager (Ctrl+Esc). • To kill all Java-based applications, except ConsoleOne, use JAVA -KILLALL at the command prompt. Individual Java applications can also be shut down by using JAVA - SHOW to obtain the process number and then entering JAVA -KILL followed by the ID number of the process you want to kill.

. And the only correct GUI in the first paragraph is the XWindows GUI, discussed in the
previous section. That’s it. Nothing fancy; nothing more.
Now with the tips:
•
To launch ConsoleOne, use
C1Start.NCF.
Both ConsoleOne and XWindows will be
launched.
•
To display specific information about hardware components and specific drivers—such as,
slot number and hardware instance number—place your mouse over a driver’s name when in
NetWare 5’s graphical installation. Then click.
Using RCONSOLE with NetWare 5
The DOS-based RCONSOLE command lets you remotely access a server. What you see on your
RCONSOLE screen is what you’d see on the remote server’s screen if you were actually sitting in
front of it. However, due to the nature of the interface, a GUI is unavailable to remote sessions.
That means no pictures or mouse movements. RCONSOLE is limited to text. If you try to use (
+
)
or (
–
) to cycle through remote windows, the GUI will not appear, even if it is active on the server.
For easy console access, just add the following to the end of your
AUTOEXEC.NCF:
•
REMOTE somepassword
•
RSPX
Now you’ll always have access to the console—without any extra work. Just load
RCONSOLE.EXE
from SYS:PUBLIC (usually on the Z:drive); select SPX; and pick a server.
Need an encrypted password? Easy. Just enter REMOTE. Then type REMOTE ENCRYPT
yourpassword. You’ll then see the command syntax to use for adding your encrypted password to
the
AUTOEXEC
file. At the prompt, type YES, which writes the information to
LDREMOTE.NCF
.
IMPORTANT:
Don’t use the REMOTE command to change your current password. If you
have used INETCFG to set your remote password, you must use the same command to change
your password.
Using Java Applications with NetWare 5
NetWare 5 and its compatibility with Java, an Internet-standard, programming language,
demonstrates Novell’s direction in the Internet world. Here are two tips to help you work better
with Java applications.
•
To force a Java application to launch in a new window, enter JAVA –NS. Any JAVA
programs launched will then appear as separate entries in the Task Manager (
Ctrl+Esc
).
•
To kill all Java-based applications, except ConsoleOne, use JAVA –KILLALL at the
command prompt. Individual Java applications can also be shut down by using JAVA –
SHOW to obtain the process number and then entering JAVA –KILL followed by the ID
number of the process you want to kill.
