8.2 Using NCPCON to Monitor NCP Server

Open a terminal console on the Linux server you want to manage, then log in as the root user.
At a terminal console prompt, enter
```
ncpcon
```

In NCPCON, use any of the following NCPCON commands to view server information:

Command	Description
config	Displays the NCP Server configuration information, such as the server name, server version, product version, NCP version, mixed-mode paths status (yes/no), and commit files status (yes/no).
stats	Displays NCP statistics, such as the following: Server up time Packets in Packets dumped Packet receive buffer memory Packet reply buffer memory NCP requests NCP connections in use Connection table memory Mounted volumes Number of open files Local ID tracking File handle memory Delayed clean processed cache count Delayed clean pending cache count Delayed clean cache memory size Volume sys: file and subdirectory caching memory Volume sys: trustee and inherited rights mask tracking memory
version	Displays version information for all currently running OES NCP Server components, the OES build, and the hardware platform.
volume	Displays a list of currently mounted NCP volumes.
volume ncp_volume_name	Displays information about the specified volume. The volume must be mounted before you issue the command.
log [filename] [level]	Adjusts the logging level of either the NCP Server log (/var/opt/novell/log/ncpserv.log) or the ncp2nss daemon log (/var/opt/novell/log/ncp2nss.log). This command can be added to a cluster load script. Options: filename [ncpserv.log \| ncp2nss.log] level [debug \| dump \| error \| everything \| info \| nothing \| warning] Examples: log ncpserv.log debug log ncp2nss.log warning By default, the logging level is set to warning for both the NCP Server and ncp2nss daemon logs.
