Siemens V4.0 manual Programming interface API, Remote administration under MS-DOS

Introduction to Advanced Server for UNIX Programming interface (API)

2.5.1 Remote administration

You can execute remote administration from any of the following systems:

●Windows NT client and server

●Windows 95/98, Windows for Workgroups, or Windows client

●Extended MS-DOS client

●UNIX system running Advanced Server for UNIX

2.5.1.1Remote administration under MS-DOS

The administration shell is started using the command

net admin \\<servername> [password] /command and thereafter commands are issued using the command net <subcommand>.

The command exit or the key combination CTRL and Z can be used to exit the adminis- tration shell and return to the operating shell system.

2.5.1.2Remote administration under Windows

Remote administration is possible from any system on which MS Windows, Windows for Workgroups, Windows NT, or Windows 95/98 is installed. For this reason, the Windows NT Server Tools are supplied with Advanced Server for UNIX. Special NT Server Tools have been developed for the Windows client. Since they have the same functionality, a standard administration interface is available to you on all clients and workstations.

2.6 Programming interface (API)

Advanced Server for UNIX provides a programming interface (application programming interface (API)), which can be used to develop distributed applications in the network. The API provides functions, for example, for the LM named pipes and mailslots. You can also execute administration functions from your own programs.

With these functions, you can develop your own programs on the server operating system which can exchange data with client processes. Advanced Server for UNIX itself uses the API for administration tasks.

The API functions and changes since LAN Manager/X V2.2 are described in the manual “API Reference” and in API manual pages. For information on how to install the manual pages, please refer to the section “Installing the asxman package”.
