Command Line Flags in Netutil Non-interactive Mode
The following command line flags are supported in netutil’s non-interactive mode:
-u user
Impersonate the specified user for the purpose of managing private authorization and connection entries. Only a user with the NET_ADMIN privilege (generally a system administrator) can impersonate another user.
-file filename
When this flag is used, netutil processes commands specified in the indicated input control file.
The format of the input control file is described in the following section.
-file-
If the input file 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 or to run netutil as part of a UNIX pipeline. To exit, press Ctrl+Z.
-vnode vnode
Connect to the Name server on the remote instance specified by the vnode name.
The vnode name must be defined on the local host's Name server; that is, connection and authorization information must exist locally for that vnode name. This information can be defined by invoking netutil on the local Name server.
