Commands
NETCONTROL STATUS
Discussion
This command displays status and configuration data for the active
transport, using several different output formats depending on the
keywords specified. Some of the formats are specific to the control
process, a network interface, or a specific protocol. Any entities which
are not active cannot have their status displayed.
This command differs from other NETCONTROL commands in that it
produces warnings, not errors, if transport is not active. This is often
used to determine if transport as a whole is running or not.
NOTE HP does not recommend combining this function on the same command
line as other functions, in an attempt to determine if the other function
worked.
NOTE The output format of all NETCONTROL commands is subject to change
without notice. Programs which are developed to postprocess
NETCONTROL output should not depend on the exact format (spacing,
alignment, number of lines, upper or lower case, or spelling) of any
NETCONTROL command output.
Example 1
Example 1 is a sample of the output that is displayed when the
NETCONTROL STATUS command is issued without specifying a network
interface or general protocol.
