Siemens V4.0 manual Paging Through Screens, Using Passwords With Commands

Administering Advanced Server at the Command Prompt Net Command

9.2.1.3Paging Through Screens

Some displays provide more than one screen full of information. For example, the following command provides several screens of information on the net share command:

net help share /options

To display information one screen at a time, use the more command, for example: net help share /options more

After you have examined one screen of information and are ready to proceed, press the SPACEBAR to display the next screen of text.

9.2.1.4Using Passwords With Commands

Some commands require a password as an option. You can provide a password as a command option by typing the password on the same line as the command itself. For example, to log the user name jim with the password kahuna on the network, you would type:

net logon

You can also ask the Advanced Server to prompt you for your password, replacing the password with an asterisk ( * ) when you type the command.

i

In the UNIX operating system, the asterisk ( * ) is a special character and must be preceded by a back slash ( \ ).

For example, to use the same resource described above, type:

net logon

The Advanced Server then displays the following message:

Type your password:

When you enter a password at this prompt, the password does not appear on the screen as you type. This allows you to keep your password confidential, providing added security.

If you forget to type a password with a command that requires one, the Advanced Server prompts you for it. Depending on the command that you type, the Advanced Server also may prompt you for other pertinent information such as your user name.
