CTNODE (CATALOG_NODE) -- Catalog a node in the network.
usage: CTNODE {node_name node_id | -N node_id |-UPDATE} [-R] [-L] {CL}
FORMAT
CTNODE [node_name node_id ...] [options]
CTNODE informs the local node that a remote node exists, thereby enabling
network file access to the remote node. The command catalogs the node_name in
the local copy of the network root directory as the entry directory for the
remote node. In other words, CTNODE adds the directory //node_name to your
copy of the network root directory. To delete a node_name entry, see the
description of the UCTNODE (UNCATALOG_NODE) command in the DOMAIN System
Command Reference Manual.
We assign a node ID to every node during the manufacturing process. To find
out the node ID of a node, type the following command at its keyboard:
$ lcnode -me
ARGUMENTS
node_name
(optional) Specify the entry directory name of the node you wish to
catalog. If the 'node_id' argument is specified, then
'node_name' is required.
Default if omitted: must use -N or -UPDATE
node_id
(optional) Specify the hexadecimal ID of the node you wish to catalog.
The node must be connected to the network when this command
is executed. If the 'node_name' argument is specified,
then 'node_id' is required.
Default if omitted: must use -N or -UPDATE
Multiple name/ID pairs are permitted.
OPTIONS
If neither -N nor -UPDATE is specified, then the 'node_name' and 'node_id'
arguments are required. The -N and -UPDATE options work only for remote nodes
running AEGIS operating system software release 5.0 or later.
-N node_id...
Copy the entry directory name from the network root
directory of the specified remote node, to the network root
directory of the local node. You do not need to know the
entry directory name. However, you must specify the node
ID of the remote node. Multiple node_id's may be
specified. Use this option instead of the
'node_name'/'node_id' argument pair.
-UPDATE Obtain a list of nodes currently responding to a network
inquiry and perform the same operation as "-N" for each
node. Names are replaced with the most current version, if
they already exist in your local copy of the network root
directory, and new names are added.
-R Replace cataloged names if they already exist. An error
occurs if you do not specify this option and try to add a
node_name that has already been cataloged (unless you are
using "-UPDATE").
-L List node names as they are cataloged.
This command uses the command line parser, and so also accepts the standard
command options listed in HELP CL.
EXAMPLES
1. $ ctnode os 21 Add the node whose ID is 21 and whose entry
$ directory name is "os" to your node's catalog.
2. $ ctnode -update Bring your node's catalog up to date with any
$ new nodes on the network.
