Probably the most hated environment is the batch file. A new product from a software lab in Springfield, Missouri is changing this long-lived dilemma. NOVBAT2 (short for "Novell Batch Enhanc- er") is a package designed to assist the Netware LAN manager in developing batch files that for the first time are truly network intelligent. Every system administrator has to write and support batch files. Many of these batch file oriented tasks are more diffi- cult than they need be. NOVBAT2 changes the complexion of main- taining & writing batch files by allowing access to all of the important functions of netware! With NOVBAT you can easily interrogate the network for information that previously required using a plethora of third party utilities. NOVBAT2 supports commands like: DoesUserExist? Is there a user "BOB" in existence? IsLoggedIn? Is "BOB" currently logged into the net? IsMemberOfGroup? Is "BOB" a member of the "SALES" GROUP? IsFileOnPath? Is a given file on the users path? AddPath If not, go ahead and add it! User@Con? What connection is BOB at? NodeNum? What Node # am I logged into? IsFreeEMS@Least? Do I have at least "300k" of unused EMS? LogToFile Create real-time log files of activity. IsFileOpen? Does anyone have file "PAYROLL.DBF" open? WhatDOSVer? What Version of DOS am I using? IsVideo? What Graphics Adapter am I using? IsTSRInMemory? Is a particular TSR loaded? WhatServer? Is my current server the "SALES_SERVER"? MeterApplication Perform software metering on a given app! IsUserInFile? Is "BOB" in the "SALES.WS" file? ... and many, many more ... NOVBAT2 contains over 150 netware-oriented commands to help the system administrator/installer develop powerful login scripts and batch files quickly and easily. NOVBAT is designed to oper- ate from the batch file command line, and returns information to your batch file through use of the ERRORLEVEL function and envi- ronment variables. This allows batch files to perform different- ly for varying users, environments, and applications. Batch files written with NOVBAT2 support can be easily designed to be sensitive to changing conditions such as users, servers, local hardware, etc. This allow the administrator to design single "common" batch files to handle the needs of literally hundreds of users. Then when the time comes to change something on the network, the administrator only has to modify a single common batch file, not dozens of individual "single user" or single machine batch files. NovBat has been featured in numerous books written for the Netware administrator/installer. In "Netware LAN Management Toolkit" NOVBAT is described as "an absolute must have utility for any network administrator who enjoys the opportunity of actually going home in time for dinner." In "Netware Unleashed" NOVBAT is called, "Perhaps simply the most powerful third-party Netware addon in the marketplace." "The Complete Netware" says of NOVBAT, "The power of this utility makes well worth it's price." This is what industry authorities say about NOVBAT, but don't take their word for it! Decide for yourself! Fully- functional versions of NOVBAT2 may be downloaded for your evaluation from most major online services, or call the Horizons International BBS at (417) 831-0555. Developed by Horizons International, a Novell Professional Developer, NOVBAT2 was designed and developed with the assistance of Novell, Inc. NOVBAT2 is compatible with all versions of DOS since DOS 3 and all versions of Netware. For additional information, please contact Phil Case.
