To Run NETTOOL in Batch Mode

You can run NETTOOL from a job with very few restrictions. The

commands can come from either a job ﬁle or from an input ﬁle. For

example, you could use the following job to print a copy of the NETTOOL

manual in batch mode:

!job nettool,user/userpass.account/acctpass;outclass=pp,2

!nettool.net.sys

:file printdev;dev=pp;env=elite2.hpenv.sys

manual

*printdev

quit

!eoj

You could perform the same operation using an INFILE for the user

input, as follows:

!job nettool,user/userpass.account/acctpass;outclass=pp,2

!nettool.net.sys;info=“infile filename”

!eoj

The input ﬁle must contain all the user input, including the QUIT

command.
