Entering a Single Command in a UNIX Shell or a DOS Prompt

 
  To issue a single command in a UNIX shell or at a DOS prompt, follow these steps:

1. Open a UNIX shell or a DOS Command Prompt window.
2. Type
      nccmd -s ServerName -u UserName -p Password -n Port Command

   where ServerName is the name of the NerveCenter server you want to contact, UserName and Password are a valid user name and password for that NerveCenter server, Port is the command-line-interface port for the server (32506 by default), and Command is the command you want to run. Then press Return.

   ---

   Note    The user ID and password are encrypted before they are sent over the network.

   ---

   If you are already connected to a server via a previous connect or select server command, the command you issue is directed to that server, and the-
   -s switch is unnecessary.

The syntax for the commands is specified in Command line interface reference.

The command is executed and informs you if an error was encountered.

In the following example, a user named John lists all the polls that are suppressed. For this example, the server is named sales, John's user ID is johndoe, and his password is anytown.
