Troubleshooting Advanced Server Tools

11.1.3 Tools for Debugging Server Problems

Advanced Server includes UNIX system commands that can be used to troubleshoot server problems. These commands are executed at the Advanced Server command prompt. This section summarizes these commands and describes the roles they can play in trouble- shooting a server.

For more information about each command, type man command at the Advanced Server command prompt.

11.1.3.1lmshell

The lmshell command is useful for emulating an MS-DOS client session when you do not have access to an actual MS-DOS client. This command is especially useful when trouble- shooting a connectivity problem between a client and server. Using the lmshell command, you can mimic a client logon and resource linking by executing the net logon and net use commands in lmshell at the Advanced Server command prompt.

11.1.3.2lmstat

The lmstat command interrogates the server’s shared memory image to gather a variety of data about the current state of the server. This command is especially useful when you want to determine which server process a client session is on.

Advanced Server is composed of a set of cooperative processes. When the server is running, enter the following command:

asx status

Executing this command generates a display similar to the following:

AS/X / NetBIOS processes:
UID	PID	PPID	C	STIME	TTY	TIME	CMD
root	19183	1	0	15:17:09	?	0:00	/var/opt/lanman/bin/lmx.ep
root	19808	1	0	15:17:09	?	0:44	./lmx.wins
root	19957	1	0	15:17:16	?	0:00	lmx.extd
root	19787	1	0	15:17:08	?	0:00	nbrfcdaemon -f20 -12
root	19953	1	0	15:17:16	?	0:01	lmx.browser
root	19916	19836	0	15:17:14	?	0:04	lmx.srv -s 1
root	19988	19836	0	15:17:20	?	0:04	lmx.srv -s 2
root	19945	1	0	15:17:16	?	0:06	lmx.dmn
root	19949	1	0	15:17:16	?	0:06	lmx.alerter
root	19836	1	0	15:17:11	?	0:01	lmx.ctrl

In this example, there are two lmx.srv server processes (19916 and 19988). The server may have nine clients with current sessions.
