nbstatus.exe(LM) 06 January 1993 nbstatus.exe(LM) Name nbstatus.exe - The DOS version of the network adapter status command. Syntax nbstatus [-sa] [name] Description The nbstatus.exe command allows the LAN Manager administrator to get status directly from NetBIOS. For a local machine, nbstatus.exe returns NetBIOS ``adapter'' status and NetBIOS session status information. For a remote machine, nbstatus.exe returns NetBIOS adapter status only. Much of this information is not relevant to the typical LAN Manager user. This utility is recommended for use in developing network applications to check for erroneous information. To run this command, first copy the nbstatus.exe file from the /usr/lib/lm/dos directory to the DOS or OS/2 workstation. Two options are available: -s [name] Returns status information for the named local session. If no name is specified, status information is returned for all names on the local machine. Session information is available for local sessions only. -a [name] Returns NetBIOS ``adapter'' status information for the ma- chine where name is registered. If the name specified is registered on a remote machine, the adapter status of the remote machine will be returned. If no name is specified, adapter status is returned for the NetBIOS on the local ma- chine. name If name is specified without flags, then both session and adapter status are returned for name if name is local. Only adapter status is returned when the name specified without flags is remote. If nbstatus.exe is used without arguments, both session and adapter status information is returned for the NetBIOS on the local machine. Files /usr/lib/lm/dos/nbstatus.exe Notes To request the adapter status of a remote server, the name should be specified in all capital letters. Also, some NetBIOS drivers do not respond to a request for remote adapter status.
