The DOWN command executes SHUTDOWN.NCF automatically whenever the server is shut down, therefore, you should never include the DOWN command in the SHUTDOWN.NCF file. In addition, you can create a batch file called SHUTDOWN.NCF in SYS:SYSTEM to execute commands whenever you shut down the server. This file resides in the SYS:SYSTEM directory.
It sets time synchronization parameters and the bindery context, stores the server name, loads the communication protocol, loads the LAN drivers and settings for the network boards, binds the protocol to the installed drivers, loads other NLM programs, and executes server parameters. This file resides in the server's startup directory, C:\NWSERVER.ĪUTOEXEC.NCF-This file is executed after STARTUP.NCF and after volume SYS: is mounted. It loads the server's disk drivers and name spaces, and can execute certain server parameters that cannot be executed anywhere else. NetWare then executes all the commands in the file in order.īy default the NetWare installation process creates two batch files that are always executed whenever the server is booted:
You execute the file by entering its name at the System Console prompt.
