List of AFP serveradmin Commands

In addition to the standard start, stop, status, and settings commands, you can

use serveradmin to issue the following service-specific AFP commands.

Listing Connected Users

You can use the serveradmin getConnectedUsers command to retrieve information

about connected AFP users. In particular, you can use this command to retrieve the

session IDs you need to disconnect or send messages to users.

To list connected users:
$serveradmin command afp:command = getConnectedUsers
Output

The following array of settings is displayed for each connected user:

afp:usersArray:_array_index:i:disconnectID = <disconnectID>
afp:usersArray:_array_index:i:flags = <flags>
afp:usersArray:_array_index:i:ipAddress = <ipAddress>
afp:usersArray:_array_index:i:lastUseElapsedTime = <lastUseElapsed>
afp:usersArray:_array_index:i:loginElapsedTime = <loginElapsedTime>
afp:usersArray:_array_index:i:minsToDisconnect = <minsToDisconnect>
afp:usersArray:_array_index:i:name = <name>
afp:usersArray:_array_index:i:serviceType = <serviceType>
afp:usersArray:_array_index:i:sessionID = <sessionID>
