2.3.6 SNMP service
The SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) service is installed and configured with
the asxsnmp package. This daemon process is star ted and stopped automatically with
Advanced Server for UNIX. It provides a connection between Advanced Server fo r UNIX
and the SNMP agent. Please refer to the manual “SNMP Service” for further information. In
addition, the “Emanate Master Agent” (Slsnmpdm) can also be used with the “SINIX SNMP
Agent Adapter” (Slsnmpd).
2.3.7 Netrun service
The Netrun service enables you to run a UNIX program on Advanced Server f or UNIX from
an OS/2 or an extended MS-DOS client.

95/98, and Windows NT.
2.3.8 Browser
The browser service extends the announce messages that normally occured i n the LAN
Manager/X environment (every 60 seconds). This new mechanism consists of a system of
hierarchically ordered browser progr ams t hat ar e used for search ing do mains, serv ers and
resources within the network. The browser service function is provided in th e Explorer/File
Manager and Windows Print Manager. Relevant shared resources on other servers and on
servers in other domains can be found using this system.
However, the browser service can only be used by a Windows NT server, a Windows NT
workstation, a Windows 95/98 client, or a Windows for Workgroups client. It is not available
on a Windows or MS-DOS client.
