Remote
Command
Utility
Microsoft’s Remote Command Utility (RCMD) is the original tool used to access a
JACE-NP for the purpose of installing software upgrades and other system
maintenance that would otherwise require a monitor, keyboard, and mouse. It can
still be used to access any JACE-NP, but is most often used on an NP with the full
version of NT.
RCMD has a client and a server component. The server component,
RCMDSVC.EXE, runs as a service on the JACE-NP and is enabled on boot. The
client component, RCMD.EXE, is a command-line program that you access from the
Niagara Console.
When you execute the RCMD command to the JACE-NP you are connected to the
JACE-NP at its command prompt and can navigate directories, copy files to and from
the host, and execute programs (see Figure 2-4).
This tool is discussed here, but the following things should be noted:
• The Admin Tool is the preferred tool for most maintenance functions; many
tasks formerly performed with RCMD have been added to the Admin Tool.
• Attaching a keyboard, mouse, and monitor is the preferred method of installing
software upgrades or performing system maintenance.
