dsadmin

Use this UNIX command line utility to display or temporarily set values for

conﬁgurable NDS parameters, such as dstrace, ds_ttf, and a temporary

bindery context.

This utility differs from the SAM and nwcm utilities in several ways. The

dsadmin utility does not store any modiﬁed values when the server is shut

down; to permanently change these parameters, use SAM or nwcm. Also,

unlike SAM or nwcm, modiﬁcations made with dsadmin take effect

immediately.

Using dsadmin

This utility enables you to dynamically set or display the conﬁgurable NDS

parameters.

You can use dsadmin to do the following:

• Display the name of the NDS tree the server has been installed in

• Print existing dstrace, ds_ttf, or bindery context settings

• Set new values for the dstrace, ds_ttf, or bindery context parameters dynamically

For more information on these parameters, see “dsadmin” in Utilities

Reference.
