Stops a currently running network service. Use the SHOW SERVICES command to display a list of available network services.

Format

STOP SERVICE servicename [/qualifiers]

restrictions

Use of this command requires membership in the Administrators local group or the Server Operators local group. You cannot use this command to stop the EventLog and Server services.

SHOW SERVICES
START SERVICE

Parameters

servicename

Specifies the name of the network service to stop.

Qualifiers

/CONFIRM

/NOCONFIRM

Controls whether you are prompted for a confirmation before the operation is performed. The default is /CONFIRM if running in interactive mode. When the prompt is issued, the default response is shown, and you may accept the default by pressing Return or Enter. If you type YES, TRUE, or 1, the operation is performed. If you type NO, FALSE, 0, or enter Ctrl/Z, no action is performed. If you type anything else, the prompt is repeated until you type an acceptable response. No prompt for confirmation is issued if running in batch mode.

/SERVER=server-name

Specifies the name of the server on which to stop the service. The default is the server currently being administered.

Example

LANDOFOZ\\TINMAN> STOP SERVICE NETLOGON 
 
Do you really want to stop service "NETLOGON" [YES or NO] (YES) : Y 
%PWRK-I-SVCOPWAIT, attempting to stop the "NETLOGON" service on "TINMAN" 
%PWRK-S-SVCSTOP, service "NETLOGON" stopped on server "TINMAN" 
      

This example stops the NetLogon service on the server currently being administered (TINMAN). A confirmation is required.

Takes ownership of the specified file or directory. By granting permissions, the owner controls how a file or directory can be accessed by others. For instance, the owner of a file or directory can grant TAKE OWNERSHIP access rights to another user who can then use the TAKE FILE OWNERSHIP command to become the new owner. (You can grant ownership access rights for a file or directory by using the SET FILE/PERMISSIONS command with either the /FILE_SPECIFIC=TAKE_OWNERSHIP or /DIRECTORY_SPECIFIC=TAKE_OWNERSHIP qualifiers.) Members of the Administrators group have privileges that allow them to TAKE FILE OWNERSHIP without being granted the TAKE OWNERSHIP permission.

Format

TAKE FILE OWNERSHIP path [/qualifier]

restrictions

You must be a member of the Administrators group to take ownership of a file or directory.

Related Commands

SHOW FILES

Parameters

path

Specifies the UNC (Universal Naming Convention) path to the directory or file for which to take ownership. Wildcards are not accepted within directory or file names.

Qualifiers

/SERVER=server-name

Specifies the name of the server on which to take ownership of the directory or file. The default is the server currently being administered.

Example

LANDOFOZ\\TINMAN> TAKE FILE OWNERSHIP STATES\KANSAS\FILE1.DAT 
%PWRK-S-FILEMOD, "\\TINMAN\STATES\KANSAS\FILE1.DAT" modified 
      

This example takes ownership of the file FILE1.DAT in the directory KANSAS in the shared directory STATES on the server currently being administered (TINMAN). The new owner of the file will be the currently logged-on user.

Use the TELL command to perform one or more administrative commands on a remote server.

Format

TELL server-name [/qualifier] [remote-command]

restrictions

Use of this command requires membership in the Administrators local group. The command cannot be used to manage a Windows NT Server.

Parameters

server-name

Specifies the name of the server on which to execute the command.

remote-command

Specifies the administrative command to be executed on the remote server. It must physically be the last item on the command line.

If remote-command is not specified, a command processor is started to receive multiple administrative commands to the remote server. In this case, the local prompt is changed to \\servername>> and all further commands are sent to the remote server until you enter Ctrl/Z or EXIT. If the remote server is an Advanced Server, you can enter only ADMINISTER commands. For PATHWORKS V5 for OpenVMS (LAN Manager) servers, you can enter only LAN Manager Net commands.

If you wish to perform an ADMINISTER command, do not specify the ADMINISTER command on the remote-command. For Net commands, you must precede the Net command with NET on the remote-command.

Qualifiers

/PASSWORD[="password"]

/NOPASSWORD

Specifies the password to use for connection to the appropriate remote server. Passwords entered on the command line are converted to uppercase unless enclosed within quotation marks. If the password you specify contains lowercase letters, blanks (spaces), or other nonalphanumeric characters, enclose it in quotation marks, unless you enter the password in response to the password prompt. (If you enclose the password in quotation marks at the password prompt, the quotation marks become part of the password.) If you do not specify a value for password, or specify it as an asterisk (*), you are prompted for a password (it is not displayed as you enter it).

If you do not specify the /PASSWORD qualifier, then the password used when you logged on to the network is used. If this password is not valid, then you will be prompted to enter a valid password for connection to the remote server. The default is /NOPASSWORD.

Examples

 LANDOFOZ\\TINMAN> TELL WOODMAN NET VERSION 
 %PWRK-I-SRVINFO, the server type is: PATHWORKS for OpenVMS (LAN Manager) 
 
 PATHWORKS V5 for OpenVMS (LAN Manager) 
 Version 5.0F 
      

This example performs the NET VERSION command on the remote server WOODMAN, which is a PATHWORKS V5 for OpenVMS (LAN Manager) server. The password used to connect to the remote server is the password specified when you logged on to the network.

 LANDOFOZ\\TINMAN> TELL DOROTHY/PASSWORD="OverTheRainbow" - 
 _LANDOFOZ\\TINMAN> SHOW VERSION 
 %PWRK-I-SRVINFO, the server type is: Advanced Server for OpenVMS 
 
 Advanced Server V7.3 for OpenVMS 
 
 
      

This example performs the ADMINISTER SHOW VERSION command on the remote server DOROTHY. The password used to connect to server DOROTHY is OverTheRainbow.

 LANDOFOZ\\TINMAN> TELL DOROTHY 
 %PWRK-I-SRVINFO, the server type is: Advanced Server for OpenVMS 
 
 \\DOROTHY>> SHOW VERSION 
 
 Advanced Server V7.3 for OpenVMS 
 
 \\DOROTHY>> SHOW SERVICES 
 
 Services on server "DOROTHY": 
 
 Service          Status 
 ---------------  --------------- 
 ALERTER          Started 
 BROWSER          Started 
 EVENTLOG         Started 
 NETLOGON         Started 
 SERVER           Started 
 
   Total of 5 services 
 
 \\DOROTHY>> EXIT 
 
 LANDOFOZ\\TINMAN> 
 
 
 
      

This example starts a command processor so that multiple commands may be performed on remote server DOROTHY. The SHOW VERSION and SHOW SERVICES commands are performed on DOROTHY. When EXIT is entered as the command, the command processor is terminated and the TELL command is completed.

This chapter contains a subset of PATHWORKS V5 for OpenVMS (LAN Manager) Net commands and their ADMINISTER command equivalents implemented for the Advanced Server. This provides backward compatibility to a subset of PATHWORKS LAN Manager Net commands. However, administrators are strongly encouraged to use ADMINISTER commands instead of Net commands.

3.1 Command Mappings

The rest of this chapter lists examples of Net commands and their ADMINISTER command equivalents. To see a display of the appropriate ADMINISTER command on your system, enter the NET/TRANSLATE command at either the domainname\\servername> prompt or the DCL prompt.

For example:

$ NET/TRANSLATE ACCOUNT /ROLE:PRIMARY

or

domainname\\servername> NET/TRANS ACCOUNT /ROLE:PRIMARY

Some commands have no equivalent; for these commands, you see an explanatory message preceded by a % sign. For example:

$ NET/TRANSLATE NET STATISTICS

%PWRK-E-INVLDCMD, invalid command entered

$ ADMINISTER NET/TRANSLATE access dsk1:[user] /add

%PWRK-E-NSUDCL, no support for "net access resource /add", Use "ADMINISTER SET FILE path"
