Using UNIX System Commands

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, 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
