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 catalogs the node_name of a remote node into the local copy of the
network root directory. CTNODE enables network file access to the remote
node. To delete a node_name entry, see UCTNODE (UNCATALOG_NODE).
We assign a node ID to every node during the manufacturing process. Type:
$ lcnode -me
at a keyboard to find out the node ID of that node.
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.
CTNODE 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.
