Linux and UNIX server or workstation:
export CLASSPATH= path /eMBoxClient.jar
To enter this manually: An alternative way to specify the classpath is to use the -cp flag for
Java each time you want to run eMBox:
java -cp path/ eMBoxClient.jar embox -i
For example, on Windows enter
java -cp c:\novell\nds\embox\eMBoxClient.jar embox -i
WARNING: On a NetWare server only, to avoid an abend you must include
-ns
(a Java
option on NetWare for “new screen”). For example,
java -ns -cp sys:\system\embox\eMBoxClient.jar embox -i
After doing both of these steps, you can run the client in interactive mode from anywhere on your
machine using the following command:
java embox -i

(a Java option on

java -ns embox -i
For information on Java commands, see the Java documentation on the Sun Web site (http://
java.sun.com) .
Logging In to a Server
To log in to a server, you need to specify the server name or IP address and the port number to
connect to a particular server. A username and password are not needed for public logins.
For example, after opening the eMBox Client in interactive mode, enter
login -s 137.65.123.244 -p 8028 -u admin.mycompany
-w mypassword -n
For more information about port numbers, see “Finding Out eDirectory Port Numbers” on page 539 .
Setting Preferred Languages, Timeout, and Log File
The default language is the client system language, so in most cases you won’t need to explicitly set
a language. Similarly, the default timeout should work in most cases. To set the log file, specify the
filename and the mode for opening it (append or overwrite).
See the following table for sample commands.
Command Description
set -L en,de Sets the language preference to English and German (in that order).
set -T 100 Sets the timeout to 100 seconds. The timeout setting specifies how long
to wait for responses from the server.
set -l mylog.txt -o Uses
mylog.txt
as the log file and overwrites when opening it.
Default=append
