SEARCH
Purpose
Use at the server console to
- Tell the server where to look for loadable module files and .ncf files
- Add other search paths or delete current search paths
- View the current search paths for the operating system
Syntax
SEARCH [ADD [number] path]
or
SEARCH DEL [number]
(no parameter) |
View the current search paths. |
number |
Specify the number of the search drive you want to add or remove. |
path |
Specify the complete path of the directory you want searched. (The default is sys:system.) Begin the path with a DOS drive letter or a NetWare® volume name. |
Using SEARCH
- To set search paths each time the server comes up, place the SEARCH commands in the autoexec.ncf file.
- If you execute SECURE CONSOLE, SEARCH is disabled to prevent modules from being loaded from directories other than the boot directory. The sys:system search path remains in effect, but you cannot create new search paths.
Once you execute SECURE CONSOLE, you must bring down the server and reboot it to create additional search paths.
NOTE: When the server comes up and volume SYS: is mounted, the search path to the boot partition is deleted.
Example
- To display the current server search paths, type
SEARCH
- To add vol1:ncf (a network directory) as a search path, type
SEARCH ADD VOL1:NCF
