Cumulative Statistics

To view cumulative server usage data, you can use the net statistics command at the SunLink Server command prompt. This command provides cumulative totals for a variety of server activities. Administrators who review the server statistics provided by using this command on a regular basis will find it easier to recognize and address changes in server operation.

The following statistics are maintained for the SunLink Server system, and are available by way of the net statistics command:

How to Close Sessions From a Microsoft Windows Computer

An administrator can disconnect a user from the server at any time. Closing a user session does not prevent the user from reconnecting.

To disconnect a user session from a Windows NT computer or from a Windows client computer using Server Manager:

1. Start Server Manager.

2. Select the SunLink Server system about which you want to view session information.

3. Click on the USERS button.

4. Highlight the user and select the Disconnect button.

You also can disconnect a user session by using the net session command at the SunLink Server command prompt.

How to Close Open Resources From a Microsoft Windows Computer

When a user uses a shared file, the file is open. Sometimes a file will be left open, perhaps even with a lock on it, because of an application program error or some other problem. Such files will remain open and unavailable to other users. Administrators can close these files.

To close an open resource from a Windows NT computer or a Windows client computer using Server Manager:

1. Start Server Manager.

2. Select the SunLink Server whose data you want to view.

3. Click on the IN USE button.

4. Highlight the open resource and select the Close Resource button.

You also can close an open resource by using the net file command at the SunLink Server command prompt.
