Environment
Novell Open Enterprise Server 2 (OES 2) Linux
Situation
How can NCP connections be cleared on OES 2 Linux?
Resolution
NCP connections can be cleared from either ncpcon at the server
console terminal or via Novell remote manager.
Clearing connections with ncpcon:
Open a terminal shell and type: ncpcon [ENTER]
Do the following to get help detail on listing and clearing connections from within the ncpcon interface:
help connection [ENTER]
help connection list [ENTER]
help connection clear [ENTER]
These same commands can be executed from the bash terminal shell prompt without entering ncpcon by doing the following:
Open a bash shell.
ncpcon help connection [ENTER]
ncpcon help connection list [ENTER]
ncpcon help connection clear [ENTER]
Clearing a connection example:
From a bash shell prompt:
ncpcon connection list > outputfile.txt
Review the generated outputfile.txt and determine the connection numbers to be cleared.
ncpcon connection clear <enter the desired connection number from the previous step>
Clearing connections with Novell Remote Manager (NRM):
Launch NRM from a web browser - (https://<server DNS or IP address:8009/).
Login.
Open "Manage NCP Services".
Click on "Manage Connections".
Put a check mark by all the connection numbers to be cleared.
Click the "Clear ALL marked connections" box.
