Neoview Command Interface (NCI) Guide (R2.5)

LOCALHOST Command

The LOCALHOST command allows you to execute client machine commands.

Syntax

LOCALHOST | LH <client m/c commands>

Considerations

• You must enter the command on one line. The command does not require an SQL terminator.

• The LOCALHOST command has a limitation. When input is entered for the operating system

commands (for example, date, time, and cmd), the input is not visible until you hit the enter

key.

• The LOCAL HOST command is supported in all modes.

• If the SET TIMING is set to ON, the elapsed time information is displayed.

Examples

• If you are using a Windows system, dir lists the contents of the directory name. Similarly,

if you are on a UNIX system you enter LOCALHOST LS to display the contents of the folder.
