Command and Utility Summary

Example

• Suppose you want to run a file-comparison program called DIFF.EXE on the

\\ADMIN server with the LISTS shared directory. The two files you want to

compare are MAILLIST.TXT and ADDRESS.LST in the LISTS directory, and

the file you want to receive the output is NEWLIST.TXT on your drive C.

To accomplish this comparison, assign a devicename (such as D) to the LISTS

directory on the \\ADMIN server. Change to that drive, and start the program

using the netrun command. To do this, type the following:

net use d: \\admin\lists

netrun diff maillist.txt address.lst >>c:\newlist.txt

Note that the DIFF.EXE program need not be in the \\ADMIN\LISTS directory.
