Displaying the PAD Hosts Database

If you are not sure whether the host you want to call is in the PAD hosts database, you can use the pad program in command mode to find out.

  1. Start the pad program, by entering:


    localhost% /opt/SUNWconn/bin/pad
    

    The system displays the PAD: prompt:


    PAD:

    This tells you that you are in command mode.

  2. Enter the hosts command to display the PAD hosts database:


    PAD: hosts
    

    The system displays the PAD hosts database:


    PAD: hosts
    
     			HOSTS AVAILABLE
     			---------------
    
     Name: host1
    
     Name: host2
    
     Name: host3


    Note -

    Starting the pad program is more convenient if /opt/SUNWconn/bin is in your PATH. If it is not, ask your System Administrator to add it. Once this is done, you only need to type pad to start the pad program.
