netutil Command--Start Net Management Utility
The netutil command invokes the Net Management Utility, a forms-based program for configuring Ingres Net. The utility lets you store and manage the information—connection data and remote user authorizations—needed by the Communications Server to connect to remote installations, allowing any number of Vector sites to be connected together in a single network.
The netutil command has the following format:
netutil [-u user] [-vnode vnode] [-file filename{,filename}]
-u user
Specifies the effective user name for the session. When creating private connection information, the information will be stored for the specified user.
-vnode vnode
Identifies the name of the remote node on which the connection information is to be stored. This vnode name must have been configured previously through either the netutil or ingnet utility.
-file filename{,filename}
Operates netutil non-interactively. All statements in the specified control file are executed.
When the input file name is specified as - (a single dash character), input is taken from the standard input channel. This allows the user to enter commands directly from the keyboard.
